Homepage
About page: /about.html
CSS: /saucy.css
I'm sure I'm overlooking something obvious, but I can't seem to find it.
Both of these pages stem from the same HTML skeleton and use the same CSS file for formatting. Why does the About page centre differently to the homepage?
Thanks!
They center the same for me, but I suspect that for you it's because of the scroll bar. The home page is taller, so the scroll bar on the right pushes everything left. The about page has no scroll bar so it's actually in the middle of the screen.
Your Homepage has enough content that it gets a vertical scrollbar, but your About page does not. (The same thing was going on here: CSS pages not equal even with the same css-file.)
Here are some options to consider:
Add overflow:scroll; to each page's stylesheet, (on the body element, for
example). A scrollbar will always be
rendered even when it's not
necessary, and your layout will not
move around.
Don't center your
content; specify a left margin in ems
or pixels.

Not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask this, if not, where? It is a code question, but the code is on a website and hard to paste here.
I'm looking at M&S's mobile site, and their slide in menu system to be specific. If you go to http://www.marksandspencer.com in Chrome, open the dev tools and use the device toolbar, it should display as if on a mobile device.
The menu is series of div's inside a nav. The div's are position: absolute;, but somehow the content doesn't get cut off at the bottom, the page expands to the height of the menu, even when it's way past the bottom of the footer.
Obviously positioning an element absolutely takes it out of the normal flow, and so would be cut off at the bottom of the footer.
Can anyone see how they've managed to achieve this..? That is, having their absolutely positioned div's not cut off. I can't see any manual setting of a height property anywhere.
Update
To see the effect, go to the home page, set the viewport width to about 500px, then open the menu, clicking on 'Men' then 'Clothing'. This leads to the menu being higher than the content of the page.
Looking at the div with classes mcp-nav-primary__submenu-container is-active you can see it's position: absolute;.
I'm not asking for someone to write code for me.
I'm asking if anyone can see how M&S have achieved this effect..?
You learn something new every day. Apparently nothing has to be done to achieve this. The window expands by itself. Note however that the height of the body and html does not expand. And if you set overflow: hidden on the body it is cut off as you expected.

I wasnt to make something like this site where I can scroll up and down and my menu goes with me, but the logo remains at the top. How did they do this? I tried some CSS, but was not able to get the logo to stay in his place.
it's called a persistent header, it's too long to explain on here so you can use this tutorial: http://css-tricks.com/persistent-headers/
You can start with position:fixed and defining either top and left properties or bottom and left properties.

Actually I don't know how to find solution to this problem and how to name it.
Here's the link to my site:

The problem is that I have page divided into 3 standard parts: top, content, footer. Between content and footer there's also facebook div to put social plug-in. What happens is that content of both divs (facebook and footer) stays under content div, but both divs actually goes up to content area (you can see dark background div right under header and behind content div).
I won't show you a code, because I don't know where the problem is. The best way is to check how this is written with web developer and firebug browser plugins.
Does anybody know solution to this problem?
Your problem is a classic problem of floats not clearing.
Look for information on .clearfix.
Basically the div#contents, has a height of 0, because #box_left and #box_right are floated, so div#contents is not containing them, and because of this your page gets all messed up.
Another tip is that instead of using position:relative and asigning a top:30px value, use margin-top:30px.
You need to clear your floats right after your #content div closes.
the layout of my html page has a fixed div on top of the page. the content div then has a margin-top to compensate for the fixed div.
However, when the content gets scrolled down, if I do a search on page, the browser would sometimes show matches that would be underneath the fixed div, i.e. invisible.
For example, go to http://mincovlaw.com/services/worldwide_enforcement_checkup, scroll down a little bit, and do several searches for "know". You will see that the one closer to the top of the page will be found but will be hidden underneath the fixed div.
Is there a better way to achieve the same looks, while retaining the functionality of a search that does not get hidden?
Simple answer: no, because that's exactly what you're doing: hiding content. Think of it as if content ceased to exist, that's exactly what you're doing and what you're looking for. Anyway, I doubt many people will search in the page, it's not THAT common
I have a site which needs to be fully self-contained in the browser window, ie, the user must not have to scroll up and down to view different parts of the site. Content that is too long to fit into the content pane is handled with overflow:auto, which is working fine.
the problem is, no matter what I try I still have the following problem:
two sets of scrollbars http://www.wikiforall.net/bad_scrollbars.png
So beneaht the content which successfully fills the browser window, there seems to be a gap. This gap causes the vertical scrollbar to show itself (and there appears to be a similar gap on the right side which isn't as easy to see). I've inspected the elements using Chrome's element inspector and the <html> tag covers only up to that gap. So I have no idea where the gap is coming from.
The main page divs are setup with position: absolute, with left, right, top, and bottom all set to zero. These divs also have display: inline set, and do not have margins or padding. The html and body tags are styled the same way.
I've been looking around for a day or two but nothing I've found has worked. Does anyone know how to remove these scrollbars?
You can always use:
overflow: hidden;
To hide the scrollbars.
