Trying to get sticky footer to work, but my layout breaks it. Have messed about in firebug for ages, no joy!
It feels like I am missing one silly position rule or something, but can't find where for love nor money
Edit: For clarity, I want the footer to be at the base of all page content, and not fixed to the base of the visible space (i.e through position: fixed; bottome: 0;)
Linky
edit: in that case...
wrap elements:
div#top_sidebar and div#bottom_sidebar with div.sidebar_right and add it float:right css rule
then remove from div#central-block position: absolute - voila! :)
Remove position:absolute; from #central-block and adjust it's height in some other way.
you miss some clears. #content-wrapper does not get the right size...
add a clear both element at the end of your #content-wrapper div and inside the #central-block. Also #central-block is position absolute, it need to be relative or static in order to adapt to the content size.

First of all, I am searching for a pure CSS solution. I can do it really easily with JavaScript, so don't bother giving me hint on how to do it in JS.
I have a web page with 3 container. 2 of them are fixed, the other one is static.
I want to give the static container a padding top and bottom equal to the fixed container.
The first fixed element have a fixed height, so that's not a problem, i give a padding equal to the height :
#header{
height : 100px;
position : fixed;
}
#content{
padding-top : 100px;
}
But the second fixed element is dynamic since we are using a CMS. Some element can be added by the client and we want the layout to adjust automatically.
You can easily see what i'm trying to do in this Fiddle, just uncomment the JS to see the desired Result.
P.S.: I support iE8 and older.
P.P.S.: I am totally aware that it may be impossible w/o JS. If so, just tell me in comment.
Since #header and #footer are fixed positioned, they are taken out of the document flow and have no relationship to #content anymore.
Therefor you have to options (imho).
1) give the footer a fixed height, so you can do the padding trick, same as with your header.
2) use Javascript, since there is no pure CSS solution (except for 1. point).
I have a span element which I want to be present at teh right corner of the page. For that I have used margin-right:10px. But it shows no effect. Where as margin-left works. Why is this? And how to make the span element appear at the right side of the page?
Try this (jsFiddle)
.right-corner {
float:right;
}
or this (jsFiddle)
.right-corner {
position:absolute:
top:0;
right:0;
}
The reason that margin-right doesn't work is because it's just giving your element a right margin not repositioning it. To help you understand, if you put something after your element with margin-right there will be a gap between them which is the margin.
margin-left does this as well, it's just doing it on the left side and since elements are places from left-to-right there is the gap on the left side which looks like it just shifted to the right.
Have a look at this little example to try to understand. You should read up on the CSS box model if you don't understand.
Margin-right is the right margin.
If you want to align it to the right you can use right:10px that is if position is absolute.
otherwise you can use float:right
You can also set the display:inline-block to the span.

I think what you're looking for is float:right;
In order to complete #Tyriar answer, here's a fiddle also showing you the use of text-align: right. And why a margin can exist but have no observable effect. Also how to use the clear property after a floating element and/or a clearfix on containers of floating elements (both are not necessary here)

One more advice: do NOT use absolute positioning if you're not really (really) sure of what you want to achieve and how; most of the time it's not the best solution to a CSS problem. Completely out of the flow, its content will display over other content without any care...
I'm trying to do jquery pagination, however I'm having a problem keeping the navigator on the bottom, even with clear: both.
The problem is that the navigation div <div class="alt_page_navigation"></div> needs to be right where </ul> ends and cannot be in another div, or else the pagination get's broken.
Another problem is that because the page is dynamic, I don't know the width of the alt_page_navigation beforehand.
Here's a live page example, I've tried everything google spit up, to no avail.
If anyone knows of a simple solution, please let me know :)
Thank you :))
Clear won't work with your inline-block display, but you need that for centering.
Try this solution for creating a clearing div, then put
<div class="clearfix"></div>
between your products and your pager.
Put padding at the bottom equal to the height of your nav, and position like so:
.wrapper { position:relative; padding-bottom:1.5em }
.nav { height:1.5em; position:absolute; bottom:0 }
For example: http://jsfiddle.net/CwrMq/
But there's no reason to use absolute positioning, either; just make it a proper display:block item. For example: http://jsfiddle.net/CwrMq/1/
Your .alt_page_navigation div has display: inline-block set on it. If you delete this line in css - your div will clear the floats. If you want its content to be in the center of the page simply add text-align: center to it and make sure that its content is inline-block (now your a are block-level). You can see the working example here: http://jsfiddle.net/6FNH6/
Here is a solution i tend to use in situations like this.
Your paginator needs to go inside a container that positions it horizontally
See this fiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/94MwF/1/
Basically you are using text-align to horizontally center it, and position absolute to put it at the bottom.
I have been using a lot of position:relative; in my design, I just find it the easiest way to get everything where I need them to be.
However, the more items I add on my site (each one with their individual div) each one ends up further and further at the bottom of my page, so I have to manually position them higher.
This leaves a lot of empty space at the bottom, and I thought that adding height: 1000px; would limit the scrolling a bit, but this method doesn't seem to work.
I've even tried adding height: 1000px; to the wrapper and it's still not working.
How can I limit vertical scrolling, to the number of pixels I choose?
Thanks so much in advance.
Wait, so you are creating a div, using position relative to move the content of the div to the correct location, and the issue being that the div tag itself is still in the same place and creating a vertical scroll even though there is no content there?
If so you should look into floats.
Here are some tutorials.

You can specify both the height and the overflow:
.someClass
{
height:1000px;
overflow:scroll;
}
The most common values for overflow are scroll, auto, and hidden.
To limit the distance someone can scroll, I think you'd need to use JavaScript. I'm not sure how, but I can't think of anything in CSS that would do that.
If you are looking to set when something should scroll instead of just be cut off or expand the tag, use overflow:auto;.
I am facing an issue with Z-index property of CSS in IE 6.0
HTML
<div id="banner"></div>
CSS
#banner{
background:url(pix/banner.PNG) top no-repeat;
z-index = -1;
}
URL: http://www.whizlabs.com/examprep/
In IE 6.0, it shows a line on the forehead of girl, showing in the banner on the top of the page. In other browsers, line is not coming. How can i resolve this issue ?
Please help me.
Thanks

There is really no reason to break the girl up into separate images.
Just use a single image and then position it relative to the top right of your wrapper
#banner{
background:url(pix/girl.PNG) top no-repeat; /* where girl is the whole girl */
position:relative;
top:0;
right:150px;
}
Then make sure that the is just under your header div
Z-index has no effect on statically positioned elements, therefore you would need to set the css position property to something else, like relative, but I don't think that you should use z-index in this case.
For a quick fix though you can try something like this:
* html #banner { margin-top: -1px; }
This above trick only applies to MSIE6.
Try puting the markup of the line before the markup of the girl, and place both using css. It usually worked for me in similar cases.
Also with Z-Index make sure to use numbers starting at 1.
If you are having trouble with an element, try giving it a Position property as well as give its parent a Position and a Z-Index.
z-index only works on positioned elements.
Plus, you can only swap the depths of elements that are all contained by the same element - nested elements (one inside the other) cannot jump out of their nesting!
