I'm getting a big whitespace on top of my page only in firefox. I tried to inspect all elements and can't find anything wrong with it. I also checked for uncollapsing margin but can't find any.
I'm using HTML5, modernzr and jquery.

This appears to be a Firefox bug (#451791). The margin collapse is done wrong. It collapses through hr.clear, as it has no height/padding/border, resulting in 90px of margin above hr.clear, but it also applies the correct margin of 90px below the floating element.
Any fix that would ordinarily prevent margin collapse will stop this behavior. For example, setting hr.clear { height: 1px } pushes everything back up, but it also shifts things down a pixel, which is undesirable. An interesting fix is to set header { padding-top: .001em }. This won't add enough padding to actually shift things visually, but it counts enough to prevent the margin from collapsing beyond the boundaries of header.
Alternatively, you could just rewrite your code to avoid this structure.
Just change the position property in the #logo class of your css, set it to:
position: relative, the class would look like:
#logo {
background: url("/Content/images/sprite.png") repeat-x scroll left top transparent;
display: block;
height: 85px;
position: relative;
text-indent: -9999px;
top: -20px;
width: 180px;
}
after that you need to change the header nav class, (margin was 90px on top)
header nav {
margin: 40px 0 5px;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
}
Then just need to adapt it exactly the way you need it, it will look like this on firefox:
It's very bizarre. I guess the easiest and best way would be, like animuson said, to remove <hr class="clear"> under <div id="contact-toggler-wrapper"> . It did the trick without affecting the layout.

This issue has had me scratching my head for a few days now. I have a website with a set CSS background with no scrolling - works well. However, on pages that are fairly long there appears an exact duplicate of the background, seemingly scrolling in FRONT of the other background.
You can see it illustrated on this page:
http://www.joyrocks.com/corporate/
I've scoured through the CSS and I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but I was hoping some fresh eyes could point me in the right direction. Cheers!
Edit: Got it solved! Sorry this may have been off-topic. Will keep that in mind in the future!
It took me a second to realize what was happening here. Now I'm not sure why it appears to be duplicated like that. Could have something to do with the background being fixed. I think your main issue here though is the body/html height.
body,html{
height: 100%;
}
That only sets the height of the viewport meaning there is still a lot of overflow that's not being covered by that.
I changed height to min-height and it seemed to have fixed the problem :)
body,html {
min-height: 100%;
}
You have a body:after rule that is applying the same style as your body.
There are two offending rules causing this:
body, body:after {
background: url('/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/background-new-2.jpg') top left fixed repeat;
}
body:after, ul.tabs li a.active:after {
content: "";
background: #FFF;
position: absolute;
z-index: 99;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
z-index: -1;
}
Remove the body:after definitions from those and you will be fine.
You must delete body, from this css line:
body, #section-tophat, #section-footer, #section-sub-footer
I have tried all the solutions I can find to this problem, but the damn thing keeps overflowing. To be specific, when I add anything more than an extra word to the "Watch the space" text to the right here http://robinlovelace.net/ , it disappears from where it should be an moves to the bottom of the page, below the 'comments' link.
I've tried adding overflow: auto; and word-wrap: break-word; in the CSS #home_right area, (as recommended here) but this fails also. It's such a simple problem I think I must be missing something that may be of use to others.
You need to set a width on it.. try the following:
#home_right {
width: 220px;
}
This is what it currently is:
#home_right {
overflow: auto width: 10 em; /* Syntax is incorrect, you forgot the ; */
}
In this case, there is actually no need for overflow.. all you needed was a width!
This is because the div is floated and when you add content to it the width is extended by the text and becomes larger than the available area and so it floats to the nearest available space. To prevent the text from widening the div, you need to set a width on the sidebar. Using firebug I figured out that in your case you need to add this in your CSS for #home_right:
width: 224px;
What you have:
overflow: auto width: 10 em;
What you should have:
overflow: auto;
width: 10em;
Spaces and semi-colons, be careful!
I have a "ribbon" type header on the top of my website:
#top-wrapper {
border-bottom: 5px solid #A1C1BE;
width: 100%;
background-color: #59554E;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
margin-bottom: 100px;
padding: 10px 0 0 0;
color: #C0C0A8;
}
The absolute positioning is needed to make sure it occupies the complete width of the user's browser (as far as I know). However, the rest of my webpage (the main body which contains all my other divs) is hidden behind this ribbon:
#pagebody {
width: 60%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
The only solution I have been able to find is adding a bunch of <br> between the end of top-wrapper and the start of pagebody.
Is there a better way of doing this?
As per my comment in another answer:
You can just use width: 100%, but make sure you remove the default gap it leaves with:
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
You should also check out necolas' normalize.css. It includes all of this basic CSS rules you're going to need in pretty much every site :)
Absolutely positioned elements (top-wrapper) are always on top of relative elements (pagebody), unless you do some hacky stuff with z-index (and even that is limited). What you probably want to do is move the pagebody element down just past the top-wrapper. I don't know how tall your top-wrapper is because it has no specified height. And you might not know it due to font-size differences. But overall, you simply need to add a top margin or padding to the pagebody tag, something like this:
margin-top:50px;
Absolute positioning takes an element out of the normal flow. You do not need absolute positioning to maximize width. You do that with width:100%.
There are many ways to do this. First, you can place your top wrapper outside the pagebody element and then just define its width as 100%.
If you have a graphic that is a ribbon and it is supposed to overlap the top of the pagebody element - as I think you are saying above - then you would use position absolute and z-index to place it above the pagebody element. Then add the proper padding-top to pagebody.
You didn't provide html so we don't really know what you're up to totally.
First, I wonder if anyone can even say that question title ten times fast.
This should be pretty easy. I've been googling around, and while there are a lot of tutorials on it, I'm having trouble grasping the idea overall. I've even looked at some other SO questions that seem related but I've not been able to make them work.
I have 3 layers. header, menu, body. The real application is much more complicated, of course. But for the sake of this question this is sufficient enough data.
The entire page itself fills 100% width, but the content within each section will be fixed to 1024px wide. This was easily done with the reknown margin: 0 auto; style. So that wasn't an issue.
Here is the trick. The middle layer, the menu. I want the menu to overlap the border between the header and the content. Now then, doing this was also not too hard. I just absolutely position the menu and kick it down by 100px to get it to the right vertical alignment.
What I cannot seem to achieve is the horizontal alignment of the 1024px block. I've included a light fiddle and an image of the expected output (beware, jsfiddle's default preview pane is not 1024px wide, so it looks like it is working at first glance)
Update
Following the instructions at this post I was able to make it work. But it is only functioning in Chrome.
http://jsfiddle.net/dE8xE/
Desired Output (colors exaggerated for emphasis and distinction)
#site-menu {
background-color: #fff;
height: 64px;
position: absolute;
top: 100px;
display: block;
width: 1024px;
/* everything is easy when you have fixed width */
left: 50%;
margin-left: -512px;
}
Can you use percentage margins and width to achieve the effect you're going for? Setting the z-index to something greater than those of the other sections will get it to float over them. Example: http://jsfiddle.net/6xCfU/
margin: 10% 0 0 10%;
width: 80%;
z-index; 100;
So I'm trying to code out my design for my new portfolio website, but I'm having a few issues there that research and hours of smashing my face against the computer screen have not yet solved. There are two big issues right now that I'm stuck on, though there is yet another that I'm currently considering if I even want to deal with at all.
The first issue is the menu. I want the typeface to go from regular to bold when you hover over it, or when you're on that page. Which works. Problem is when you hover over it, the other two items in the menu adjust slightly because the change in type weight pushes them out. My attempts thus far have all ended with failure.
The second issue is the footer. I want it to stay on the bottom of the page. My research has gotten me this far, but instead of what I wanted, now it actually stays at the bottom of the browser, not at the bottom of the content. Thank you for any help you can give!
The page in question can be found at: http://personal.justgooddesign.net/draft/
Your footer is getting jumbled up because you float left and clear right. My personal preference for footers always starts with this very clean method and builds from there. If you're getting confused, separate your inner content from the rest of the page and test away.
With fonts, you have to think more like a UI developer than a graphic designer. Unlike Indesign, Illustrator, etc, fonts and spacing aren't 100% pixel perfect. What will render one way in one browser will render a very different way in another. Bolding a font on the web will make it larger, and it will push spacing. To compensate for that, setup your menu elements to be a bit wider to compensate, then test like crazy. If you solely rely on margins and padding, then a bolded hover element is going to push the menu around every time.
Just a suggestion, setup your css in a separate file and load it in. The code will be cached, which will result in a performance improvement on subsequent loads. Further, you could save yourself a lot of code by doing one class to attach styling to your elements and being mindful positioning relative to other elements. There's no need to individually style every element in your portfolio for positioning.
You can fix the jump in the menu by setting a fixed width on the #menu li, so
#menu li {
display: block;
float: right;
width: 40px; //something like this.
padding: 0px;
list-style-type: none;
position: relative;
text-align: center;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: 20px;
}
EDIT:
To fix the footer issue
remove height: 600px; from the #right rule
add a clearing br in between the #container div and the #footer div
</div>
<br style="clear:both;">
<div id="footer">
You have floating problems as you are not clearing your floats.
Your div#wrapper is always going to be equal to the height of the viewport.
Your div#container is collapsed beacuse you have floated div#left to "left", div#right to "right" and also have absolutely positioned div#footer. What this does is that, it takes these divs from the normal flow of the document and subsequently the div#contaiver is not "wrapped" around these three divs (div#left, div#right and div#fotter")
The same is the case with div#right. The div#intro and div#portfolio have been floated inside the div#right and it is not wrapping it's child divs.
Ther are many ways around these problems. I suggest this.
Include the following code after the last floated element.
<div class="float_clear"></div>
div.float_clear
{
clear: both;
}
For the menu, there is not enough space, Just add.
div#menu>ul>li
{
width: 50px;
}
Try this to fix your footer issue?
<p style = "clear:both">
<div id="footer">
Also
#right {
clear: right;
float: right;
height: 600px; //Remove this line
width: 490px;
padding: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
margin-left: 0px;
}
add overflow:hidden to the container...
Whenever you have stuff that is floating, put a div around the floating content and give it
overflow:hidden;
display:block;
width: (some width);
That will fix most floating issues
