I can't seem to get the graphics on the top and the bottom of the navigation menu to have no gaps. Since the top and bottom images need to be stretched it can't be done as a background image. The 3 pieces need to be touching. I have tried using tables, setting margins and padding to 0px on everything, even tried using a css clear file and I still cannot get them touching.

Am I trying to force the browser to do something it's not capable of doing? Where is the extra spacing coming from?
Please and thank you!
I don't mind trying things out. I have spent about 11 hours fiddling with this and I'm very frustrated at the lack of understanding on my part at why there is still a space. Ugh.
Needs to work on IE7 and above please. :)

I know this has been asked many times, and I have been searching for the answer in a lot of places but I can't seem to fix my code. Thank you for reading this because I'm going crazy here! First I had a different z-index problem with safari, than another with explorer, but now the z-index problem I'm having with mozila I can't fix in any way. I code in chrome, where it seems to work perfectly (for me it seems at least!)
I believe now it works more or less fine in most browsers but not on mozila. The idea of the page is to make (only with CSS because that's the only language supported by the website) a flipping book of several pages. I see some examples around of CSS only flipping cards (only one page), but not a book of more than one page. So I essentially overlap several "cards", in order to give this effect. You can see the demo from codepen here: pkrein/pen/qBOewem
Btw I do know this code is not as clean as it could be, but that's the way I figured to make a fuction like that works only with CSS, and I hope it will make sense for you.
Ok, so the matter is, the content inside the book pages is not "scrollable" on firefox. I guess this is indeed a z-index problem, because when I move any page outside the book, that is, from behind the rest of the content, it scrolls fine.
Let me know if I can give any more info that could help you understand my issue!
I figured a possible solution for this. It's not quite the solution for the problem itself but it's something that can make what I want to do work.
The problem was: (what I had to remove in order to make it work):
(1) The div #content-holder holding all the text inside the flap
(2) The div .preparation-text inside the .preparation (that's the text I want to scroll). That was a scrolling div (.preparation) inside a non-scrolling div (.preparation-text). I always add a scrolling div inside a non-scrolling div in order to hide the scrollbar, by adding a high padding-right to the inside div. I know I can use code to hide the scrollbar but it do not work in all browsers.
How I fixed:
(1) I just removed the #content-holedr divs, since it was not strictly necessary.
(2) I removed the .preparation-text and transformed .preparation into a scrolling div. Then I just covered the scrollbar with an image of the same size and colors as the background (a print of the layout).
OK, I have scanned the forums trying to find a solution to my dilemma and have tried everything I found. If someone could please take a look at the following URL: angrybullhartford
When I resize any browser, the problems seem to differ a little, The two images in the right sidebar do not center and scale to a tiny size. The slider at the top of the page is small and off center as well. I had this working at one point and cannot get back to it. If it is something simple and someone could tell me why this is occurring I would appreciate it.
Thank you!
There is some sort of left margin or padding on the slider. It does not line up with the elements below it. When you start to make the page smaller, you can really see this margin I'm talking about.
Anyhow, try this: Change your CSS to
#page .pad {
padding: 40px;
background-color: transparent;
}
This produced a much cleaner result for me, not sure if it's exactly what you want though. Being that you're using BS2, you may have to write some media queries to handle your extra styles.
I'm pretty much as new to CSS as it gets and what I'm trying to do right now is just design a very simple/basic splash or landing page for a small business.
Here is the url for the site: My site
Now if you go on any browser, lets say google chrome and you zoom out or in (ctrl -/+) you will notice that the website layout starts to "break apart" in that all my divs just start shifting around. I obviously dont want this, and just want the site to remain the same when people zoom in or out, pretty much like all good sites haha.
I know it must have something to do with positioning, but I can't figure it our for the life or me. Last night I spent hours browsing similar questions but I can figure it out.
I'm not posting the code as to take up more space, I'm assuming since I gave you the URL you'll be able to retrieve the code from there.
I also have a few more, smaller questions:
1) if you open my site on chrome, or ie you'll notice that after the "terms and conditions" on the bottom of the page, the site ends, like it should. however, if you go on firefox, you'll notice that after the "terms and conditions" the background so to speak continues for a while. why is this and how can i fix it?
2) you'll notice that on different browsers positioning of elements is slightly different.
most noticeably if you look or chrome/firefox and then internet explorer 9 you'll notice that the "terms and conditions" are slightly higher than in chrome or ff and thus slightly touching the main content area. is there a way to fix this?
3) what is an efficient, effective way to center divs? For example, I want to center the "sign up" button perfectly centered relative in the main content area. ive pretty much just been eyeing it out and using relative positioning to center it. what is a more accurate way to center it?
Thanks, and sorry if these questions seem a little redundant. if you need any clarification on anything I'll be monitoring this question like a hawk.
Cheers
When you zoom in or out, you will encounter issues because of rounding and text rendering. It is a good idea to make sure the layout can survive a bit of stretching without breaking down.
Relative positioning is affected by issues mentioned in #1, and therefore unreliable.
Look into using something to remove the properties that the various browsers will apply. You could use a reset to give you something more workable or try to normalize the values to make them more even between browers.
For (horizontal) centering you have some options:
If you have a container with "text-align:center" it will center all child elements that are inline-blocks or inline.
If you want to center a block element, you can use "margin: 0 auto" to center it horizontally and remove vertical margins.
If you want to center an absolutely positioned element, you can use "left: 50%, margin-left: -(width of element/2)".
In addition to attempting to get rid of relative positioning, I would recommend that you do not explicitly set the height of the body element. Generally you want the elements to manage their own size, that way they will be more robust.
If you use "position: relative" now because that is what you know how to use, I would suggest you try using "float: left" (or right), or changing the display type (display: inline-block). That may help you get started in the right direction.
not sure for your points 1 & 2, but as for 3 what i've come to use is the following have the div i want to center and then use width : some-percentage; margin-left : 100-(some_percentage)*0.5 ;, where some percentage is the width I want to use.
a couple suggestions before go into fixing the zoom in and zoom out issue.
Don't use <div> to wrap around text.
Use <h1> tags for header
Store your CSS in a separate css file.
You defined the header section that's great, but do that for container and footer as well.
Comments! That would make the job much easier for people who try to help you.
I'm working on http://www.lceonline.co.uk
When working on a smaller screen res, anything less than 1000px, I'm getting a horizontal scroll bar appear. This happens on all browsers.
I've tried
overflow-x : hidden;
but then the web pages' background doesnt repeat, it just seems to be one large gray background. It also is a css-3 property, One i'd rather try and avoid.
I've had a look at the sites' DIV tags and still cant see what is actually causing the problem. I havent built this from scratch, someone else worked on it before me and I feel they have used too many containers.
Can someone provide me with a possible solution on how to get rid of it?
Thanks
Your issue is that
#page-container and #page-container2 both have width:1000px;
If you remove the width from both of those the scrollbar disappears, as does the centring and the gray background.
I have been looking around and seem to find lots about aligning a div vertically however not with a dynamic height div surrounding it.. i have a moch up of what i require, built from all sorts of different templates i have found.. i just cant get it to do what I want maybey i am totally wrong?.. i thought it would be simple however has turned south.. i am hoping somone on here can understand what i mean and fix it easily as I am lost... tried so many different things however just end up back to square one..
I have checked out "vertically-center-content-with-css" at vdotmedia and this is exactly what i need the div to do however i can't get it working in the template i have come up with.. i do want it to be cross browser and ie6 would be nice but at least ie7..
Thanks in advanced!
The code was a bit long for here so see the link for what i am after..

Not so easy but check this out: http://blog.themeforest.net/tutorials/vertical-centering-with-css/
Try using vertical-align: middle and a set of divs with display:table, table-row, table-cell.
