How to not get a div cover my page ? - css

I'm actually working on a website that should have a div in position fixed on the top of my page.
But it doesn't work fine : my div on the top is covering a part of my page. I don't understand how to get a solution for this.
The div fixed on the top is ".menutop" :
.menutop {
width:100%;
background-color:white;
top:0;
position:fixed;
margin-bottom:10px;
border-bottom:1px solid black;
color: #428CB7;
}
Should I add something in my body configuration ?
Thank you !

When an element has position:absolute or position:fixed, it is removed from the flow, so any other elements will act as if it's not there. In order to prevent this causing problems, in your case, add a margin-top to your content so that the menu no longer covers it.

You will probably need to add a margin-top to the body for whatever height the menutop is.

Absolute Positioned Div is hiding my other divs below

Have a look at, http://thomaspalumbo.com
I have this CSS for my website's container:
.graybox {
padding: 0 30px 30px 30px;
background: #ededed;
position:absolute;
left:0;
right:0;
}
Then I have a container on top of that to center that info.
The .graybox container spreads the width of the page like I want but now my footer div is hidden, according to firebug is it actually behind? And up on the page?
Is there a fix for this?
While I'm here can anyone explain the white space on the right side of the page. It comes into effect once the page is resized smaller.
You can use the CSS z-index property to make sure your footer is in front of the content. Z-index only works when the element is positioned though. So make sure you add position:relative to your footer
#footer{
position:relative;
z-index:999;
}

EDIT
Just checked out the code of your website, and I don't understand why your graybox is positioned absolutely, this will only make things more complex. The same goes for your menu, why position it absolute, why not just add it in the right order in the HTML in the first place?
EDIT
If you want to center your content but with a background that has a 100% width then you can simply add a container div like so:
HTML
<div class="container">
<div>lorem ipsum....</div>
</div>
CSS
.container{
background:red;
}
.container div{
width:400px;
margin:0 auto;
background:yellow;
}
See JSFiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/HxBnF/
Currently you cannot do this because you have a container which you set at 980px, don't ever do that unless you are sure you don't want anything to wrap over it, like in this case the background of a div in that container.
in the div style, just assign a z-index value greater than any other z-index such as
.divClass{
position: absolute;
z-index: 1 //if other elements are still visible chose a higher value such as 20 or even higher.
}

CSS Error that is driving me wild

I am currently working on a website which was all going well until the css now thinks that the bottom of the page, even though i have positioned the image with
position:absolute;
bottom:0px;
is actually about 100 pixels above the bottom! I can't figure it out and my only answer could be because of how I am repeating things across the layout.The site can be found at SemaphoreDesign The paste bin for the style sheet is here And for the HTML go here I really cannot figure out why the header and the endside are not at the bottom of the page and why there is a scroll bar.Thanks
you can do a fixed position for these 2
#endside {
width:100%;
float:left;
height:112px;
position:fixed;
bottom:0px;
overflow:hidden;
background-image:url(images/main_09.png);
z-index-2;
}
#footer {
width:915px;
margin: 0 auto;
background-image:url(images/main_10.png);
height:112px;
position:fixed;
bottom:0px;
z-index:11;
}
Mostly likely you're scrolling down when you see the problem?
You should be using position:fixed if you want it to not move when the user scrolls.
The reason you're getting a scrollbar in the first place is because you set your "content" <div> to height:100%, which means 100% of the window height. Since there's other elements the height exceeds the window height.
Something like this might help:

I don't think you want to use position:fixed. This site has good CSS for footers you can copy:

CSS Float Images, Remove margin each line

Im trying to align multiple Images or DIVs.
i get the content from wordpress.
#wrapper{
width:800px;
}
.image{
width:125px;
height:100px;
float:left;
margin-left:10px;
}
This causes the last image to go to the next line.
i found
#wrapper div:first-child{
margin-left:0px;
}
helps me with the first line but the next lines are "broken" again.
how can i align 6 images in a row with ^n Pictures?
That's indeed a common design problem. I used to fix it by adding 10px to the container, but nowadays I always use a jQuery fix:
$("#wrapper .image:nth-child(6n+1)").find('img').css('margin-left','0');
See jsfiddle here
Or you could do it CSS only, but this will only work in real browsers (not in <=IE8)
.image:nth-child(6n+1) {
margin-left:0px;
}
See jsfiddle here
Sounds like the total width of the images, padding and margin are too wide for your container width. Try increasing the container width to confirm this.

Fixing odd spacing between divs on my site

Hey, I appear to have a CSS problem, regarding the spacing of my <div>s on my site.
If you point your browser to www.marioplanet.com you will see an odd space after my Apple-themed navigation bar.
I was wondering if anyone can help me identify why this spacing was added, and how I can eliminate it, as it's undesired.
Also, I believe it has something directly related to the nav bar, because without the nav bar, this is no spacing problem.
Thanks!
It is because of <a></a> present in <li id="gn-support"><a></a></li>
That #globalheader DIV that contains the menu bar has 18px of vertical margin (top and bottom). So naturally what follows is displaced by 18px.
#globalheader {
height:37px;
margin:18px auto;
position:relative;
width:771px;
z-index:1;
}
You might want to remove the gn-ipad, gn-itunes and gn-support <li> elements from your html.
Get rid of the 18px portion of the margin in the globalheader item, then change the width of the globalnav item to 1000px:
globalnav {
margin:0;
padding:0;
width:1000px;
}
Ok the problem has to do with you fixed width on:
#globalheader{
width: 769px; //this is too small and actually not needed.
}
The contained list (#globalnav) has a rendered width of 830px (it has some white space at the end didn't investigate to see where it came from. So if you remove the fixed width from globalheader and add a margin-left of 200px to #globalnav you will center it and get rid of the space.
Additionally if you can see why your list have a bunch of white space to the right of it expanding its size to 830px you can just do a margin-left and margin-right of auto and center the list inside the global header div.
Figured out where the extra space at the end of the ul is comming from list items gn-itunes and gn-support are both rendering with 103px in width. this is comming from the (#globalheader #globalnav LI A css rule) You can override the width in (#globalheader #globalnav li#gn-support A) as well as the (#globalheader #globalnav li#gn-itunes A) css rules and that should fix it as well without resorting to fix above.
If you change the width of globalheader will work.
#globalheader {
height:37px;
margin:auto;
position:relative;
width:515px;
z-index:1;
}
If you want to add more navigation links later you will have to increase the width of globalheader.

positioning a div bottom of the page and keep content above

I have the following CSS which positions a div at the bottom of the page.
Q: How can I stop content flowing underneath it?
#footer {
position:fixed;
bottom:0;
background:url(../images/bg-footer.jpg) top;
z-index:200;
height:34px;
width:100%;
line-height:34px;
padding:0;
font-size:11px;
color:#fff;
}
I can't add padding to the body or anything because I have a fullscreen background image in place as per this tutorial:
http://css-tricks.com/how-to-resizeable-background-image/
try the sticky footer
Have you tried using: position:absolute; instead?
If you want to keep the content above your footer you should start by removing the positive z-index from it.
If you have the footer as the final div of the page (perhaps wrapped in a full page div) then try setting the clear property to both in your css, eg:
clear: both;
Which should prevent any other divs from falling below the footer.
