I'm trying to get the gold title box flush with the box below it. With margins set to 0, why aren't they butting up against one another?
http://www.craftonhills.edu/Testing/chctest/Tweets.aspx
update:
the ul.tweet_list has a default margin. Set it to margin: 0 and it should work.
Through margin-collapsing, the ul inside the container creates the margin.
(on a first glance I thought the .widget was creating the border...)
The margin on .tweet-lists is pushing it away. My suggestion would be to place the border on the containing div and this will get rid of the collapsing margin.
.tweet_list has a top and bottom margin of 14
The tag inside the div (with id "tweetlist") has a margin-top of 14 pixels (according to Google Chrome inspector). Setting this to 0 in the css fixes it.
It is your UL element that has a default margin on it. Set the UL to margin-top: 0px; and you should be good to go.

The problem I'm having is I have two divs at the top of my page, one contains a repeating blue background, the other contains a background image.
I have to set the height of both divs in order for them to expand vertically, the don't expand with the content. I have that form on the right hand side set to overflow. Which I believe is what's causing the problem.
I have tried not having the height css in the code, but it still won't expand vertically.
In order to get the backgrounds to even show up I have to manually set the height.
This is the page: http://www.repipespecialists.com/landing/google/repiping.html
This is the CSS code:
#top_container {
width:100%;
height:1040px;
background-image:url(../images/top_bg_repeat.jpg);
background-repeat:repeat-x;
background-color:#83b4e9;
}
#top_header {
width:1200px;
height:1040px;
background-image:url(../images/header_bg.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-color:#83b4e9;
margin: 0 auto;
}
I agree with WDan in that the issue you are having is due to your use of float: left and float: right on the left_content and right_content div elements.
When you use float on an element, you are basically removing it from the normal flow of the document. By default, elements will appear on the page in whatever order you specify in the markup. Using float (or things like position: absolute) will remove the element from this "order", or "document flow", such that the floated element will be ignored when placing other elements in their default position on the page.
Since the space used by these floated elements are ignored, the top_header div does not take the floated element's size into account when determining its own size. This is why your div is not automatically expanding.
Another alternative to float is to use display: inline-block. Here are some links you can read to learn more about the differences:

http://robertnyman.com/2010/02/24/css-display-inline-block-why-it-rocks-and-why-it-sucks/
I think the problem is you use float in 'left_content' and 'right_content'
Use “overflow: hidden” in the wrapper div.
I have a drop down navigation that works perfectly when positioned via a left CSS property.
http://jsfiddle.net/durilai/nmME4/1/
You can see that the dropdown adjusts to the width of the content, however I would like to position right. When I do the width of the drop down will not adjust to the content. You can see this behavior at the fiddle below.
http://jsfiddle.net/durilai/cTSJt/2/
Any help is appreciated, also any knowledge into what is causing this behavior is also appreciated.
The right: 100px in ul seems to be setting a width of 100px.
If that does not need to be positioned absolute, then use float: right; and use margin-right: 100px; instead.
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/cTSJt/12/
Ok so basically, from what I can see, the issue was being caused by using the element (in this case ul) directly as the selector.
I believe this was interfering with the below ul elements within your CSS. Simply changing the first CSS rule from ul to your ID (Navigation_Main) fixes the issue.

Have you tried using div's instead of the unorder list (ul) element. As you are using CSS to striping off all the default styling that makes a "ul" a list element why not use a div to start with. I can't guarantee it will solve the problem but it eliminates unnecessary CSS and you might beable to spot the issue more easily
And in reality shouldn't a ul only be used for bullet point items, in a text document?
On the follow page:
http://steve.brettatkin.com/Templates/3-column.php
The secondary navigation is overlapping and loosing the indent when the text wraps.
Here is the CSS file:
http://steve.brettatkin.com/inc/css/3-col.css
How do I fix both issues?
Thanks!

You may want to use a padding or margin instead of text-indent, if you want the indent to affect all lines (not just the first). The overlap is caused by your #navigation a { height: 25px; }.
On this site:
http://stmc.modulemedia.co.uk/HossIntropia
I have code that's generated by a CMS, I have stripped things back as much as possible, removing the .net code and things generated by the CMS, but still cannot see why the text (that starts Hoss Intropia...) is overlapping.
There are basically two DIVS LeftCol and RightCol, that I have moved from being side-by-side to LeftCol being above RightCol.
This is a project I'm taking over, so I'm limited as to what can be changed.
Thanks for your help!
I think you just need to increase the height of the div inside #LeftCol that is containing stuff.
Try changing the height on .menu to height: 480px. Or perhaps even remove the height.
div.Menu has a height property, and since the content is spilling out beyond that height, it overlaps the div#RightCol content.
if you remove the height from div.Menu, it works
settting the margin of the right cols should solve the problem:
#RightCol {
margin:120px 0 0 0 !important;
}
I have been trying to add another button to my navigation bar at http://hawaiiislandpreservationsociety.org/ ,but the layout messes up. What do I need to tweak to get it inline with the rest of the buttons?
Much Appreciated,

#header ul
change the width to 802px;
(then download Firebug)
adding 2px (making it 802px) to the #header ul makes it display correctly for me in firefox.
You mean the problem that "Blog" ends up on its own line? It seems like #go_learn has a padding defined which, combined with the width definition of 200px, ends up making the element actually 202px wide.
