Website looks off when working on a smaller screen - html

I need my work done soon, but I don't have access to my bigger monitor. I assume the teacher also has a big monitor where he'll look at my work, so it shouldn't be a problem.
But my site only looks normal on 70% and I'm having a big headache trying to make it work so I have to work on 70%.

I've heard about responsive design already, but I can't figure it out. I'm not the greatest at coding and it was hard to achieve what I have so help is appreciated a ton.

Your code has some mistakes on it, you have ; on your img element and your style element should be in the head tag, and the reason why your website is not responsive is because you are using position:absolute, keep your website simple, or if you really want to still use position:absolute, then that div should be contained on another div but set it it to position:relative.
Anyways, I fixed it and now totally responsive, here it is:

For make a website responsive you need to avoid px and use %, vw (viewport width) or vh (viewport height).
After in your css you need to declare #media only screen and (max-width: screenSizepx) and inside make the responsive layout for each screen.
Usually i make this with:
#media only screen and (max-width: 1000)
#media only screen and (max-width: 550px)
#media only screen and (max-width: 400px)

How to stop a float in a div to interact with another float in another div?

I'm making a website for school, but i have a problem with my css code. I want to place the section1 and the section2 underneath the header so that it looks like that :
WANTED
The problem is that it looks like that (the problem is this enormous gap on the left) :
REALITY
I know that the problem comes from the float on the header and nav bar but i don't know how to keep the header look and having the two boxes ("section1" and "section2", grouped as "content").
The CSS code :
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
text-decoration: none;
}
body {
color: black;
background-color: white;
font-size: 16px;
text-align:justify;
text-justify:inter-word;
}
.header {
width: 100%;
height: 80px;
display: block;
background-color: #101010;
}

width: 65%;
height: 100%;
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.logo {
height: 100%;
display: table;
float: left;
}
.logo h1 {
color: white;
height: 100%;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
font-family: "Trebuchet MS";
font-size: 32px;
font-weight: 600;
}
.nav {
float: right;
height: 50%;
line-height: 70px;
}

Thanks for your help !
Your example seems to work for me provided .container has a width: 100% on it.
But for what you want exactly, I would use the following:
.container {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: space-evenly; // google all the different options for this
}
// Get rid of the `float` properties on the sections, you won't need them
Below, is your original code in a snippet, and with that width property it's working for me.
But I highly recommend switching to flex box over floats, as it will give you way more control and better results.

Why is there white space at the bottom of my web page when run in the browser?

When I run my code in the browser, I have this little line of white space at the bottom of the page. I’ve been trying different solutions but can’t seem to find one that works. Below is the home.html page. Maybe someone here can shed some light into the problem.

I cannot for the life of me figure out why that little line of white space is in there at the very bottom. screenshot
Yes, I have observed white space showing in the bottom. It is because the elements inside body tag is not occupying the full available body size.
elemets heights are as
body- 722
header- 104
.showcase- 251enter code here
.info-bar- 201
.testimonials- ~71
footer- ~62
the white space in the botom is remaining area of viewport. If you make the browser smaller the white space will go away.
To fix this proble you can use below css to the body.
body {
font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe;
font-size: 15px;
line-height: 1.5;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
background-color: #ffffff;
/* Add below lines*/
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: stretch;
}

Getting the Navigation-Bar centered

I'm working on a Site for myself, but I have no clue how I get the Navigationbar centered in the site.
I thought that maybe someone else has an idea :) the whole navigation bar is slightly to the left & I don't know how to fix it.. Hope you guys out there can do this :) I'm a beginner # coding & I have so much more to learn ..

White space beside content when I reduce the screen size

I am studying CSS and creating a responsive web page. I have started working in a media query. When I maximize the screen, all works as expected, but when I reduce its size, the content that does not fit in the viewport is hidden, and a white space stays in its place. That space can be seen scrolling the screen to side. Why is that space appearing instead the rest of the content? I also don't understand why my content doesn't fit in the screen, because I am using percentage values to elements' width. My code is below:

Actually it's not hidden. The links in the header just happen to have a color that's close enough to white that the contrast is really low. They're overflowing the right side of the header when the header's content is wider than the viewport.
The simplest solution would be to give flex-wrap:wrap to header, but I recommend using a media query to override the display:flex instead (for better backwards compatibility).

How to center a list item inside a horizontal unordered list?

html/css newbie here.
I have done some courses on html/css and now I'm testing my knowledge by attempting to copy some websites I like. Right now I'm trying my best to make Khan Academy's front page (https://www.khanacademy.org), but I've been struggling with something.
I have an <ul> that represents the top navigation bar of the page, and now I'm trying to center their logo (<div id="ka"> that is inside the navbar as a list item) to the page but using text-align: center and margin-left: auto; & margin-right: auto doesn't seem to do anything.
Here's my code:
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background-image: url("https://cdn.kastatic.org/images/homepage/mountains-simple.svg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 157.75%;
background-position-x: 50.825%;
}

}

font-size: 17px;
padding: 13px 38px 0px 4px;
margin-left: -8px;
}
#ka {
display: inline-block;
}
#ka-logo {
float: left;
width: 24px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
#search-icon {

}

background-color: #47dcd6;
border-radius: 4px;
margin-left: 8px;
border: 1px solid #47dcd6;
padding: 12px 175px 14px 12px;
}

I have seem this question but what was suggested didn't work for me.
My question is: how do I center the logo div?
A side note: since I'm fairly new to html there could be a lot of bad practices in the code above. Tips on how to do the things I did more efficiently would be highly appreciated.
here a solution for your problem.
In CSS, flex is very usefull, take a look at:
Flex guide https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/
My CSS
I have used flexbox for centered verically divs and set the right div.
For the logo, I used a first div with the height and width of the taskbar (non-clickable) and a second with the logo centered (clickable) with position absolute.
