I recently started trying to learn webdesign and I've already jumped into my first project. I've created a template in photoshop but I'm having trouble reproducing it in my visual studio code. Any help would be awesome. I've included my questions in the CSS comments. Also, not very relevant but, these past 3-4 days of this new learning experience have been great and very challenging! Would love some general coding tips if possible. Sorry for being an absolute noob. My first project ideal outcome

}
/* can't make the searchbox go to the left side of the navbar :( */
.searchbox {

How can I make the navbar go a few pixels down? like in the photo?
Margin or Paddings, how to decide? Consider your HTML layout.
Can't make the search box go to the left side of the navbar?
Research about flexbox and study your layout, it's widely supported as well.
The last 3 answers can also be answered by good use of HTML layout and flexbox.
I would suggest you to research more about the display property as well
Once you've read the CSS Tricks Article, play around with Flexbox Froggy

What youre looking for is a so called clearfix:
What is a clearfix?
Whats happening?
By using float:left youre actually changing the text float - beginning at the point where you set float.
To restore the regular blockish behaviour you need to clear the float again.

I wrapped your whole upper part into a div with the clearfix class.
Inside that div you change the float behaviour by using float:left on the image.
By adding the clearfix to the div, there will be a after Element which sets clear:both which basically restores regular behaviour so everything after that doesnt float anymore.
Fore more information and some live examples see https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_float.asp, https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_float_clear.asp and https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_float_examples.asp.
it would seem this question has been asked many times over different websites with no real "ah-ha!" answer. I'm still very new and I understand there's a million different ways to code this but I'm hoping for a very simple solution that won't require me to rewrite my code.
It's my understanding this is the inherent nature of parallax, people either have had to crop the images to make them work or have had to do very large workarounds to solve the issue that parallax inherently zooms in or messes with the dimension of the original picture, no matter the orientation on the page (in my case, I'd like to keep it on the left side of the screen, with the text on the right being the scrolling element, haven't gotten around to it but having the nav bar on the top right-half of the page is my next project).
The dimensions of the picture are 1341x2063; I've heard to people setting max-height 2063px; min-height 1341px;. Tried that, didn't work.
I threw up an imgur link for the actual picture I'm working with inside my code, here's a screenshot of what it's looking like on my end: https://imgur.com/lVrQgrQ
My html has my parallax's css inline and I'd like to keep it that way as it's easy for me to understand without having to rework a ton of items.

When the background-attachment is set to fixed, it gets fixed relative to the viewport. This is to achieve the parallax effect. The browser does this while keeping the aspect ratio. So to prevent the looks of a stretched or zoomed image you can just crop your image or play around with the background-size css value.
.parallax {
background-size: 100% 65%;
}
The only setting you have to change is the second value, this will help you fix the stretchy or zoomed effect on the image, an other suggestion you might check is set background-size to cover.
Just to add, adding background-size: 'auto auto' worked for me. Having it set to 'cover' was causing a huge zoom effect. This fixed it.
The problem that I have with my code is that the <p>Welcome to my Profile</p> will not center. I've tried using Bootstrap's text-center class but it doesn't work desirably. I've also tried multiple things like using text-align: center; in CSS and even using width: 100%; for both the header and the div. Are there any solutions? Thanks in advance.

Looks like you're using "text-center" as a class. Unless you set your CSS to recognize the class, there is nothing for the CSS to do.
Try adding this to your CSS
.text-center {
text-align: center;
}
You should always provide a jsFiddle for problems like this, btw ;)
If Bootstrap has a class setting the paragraph element to align left, you may also need to change the paragraph to a div. Alternatively, you could add a class to the paragraph such as "center-me" and add CSS
p.center-me {
text-align: center;
}
Bootstrap adds a giant bunch of CSS. Make sure, when you are using Bootstrap, to check if it has CSS styles that are affecting what you want to accomplish. Most browsers contain a developer's window where you can see what styles are being applied to any window. In Chrome, you can right click on any element and select "Inspect" to pull up this window and see both the HTML and the styles that are being applied from any CSS source.
I have a web server running on linux Redhat with apache.
My server hosts the 'font awesome' fonts.
When requesting the web pages from another computer, if Chrome is used the icons are correctly displayed. If ie9 is used the icons are not displayed.
If the 'font awesome' page is opened with ie9 or chrome, the icons are correctly displayed.
I read other posts, I changed the #font_face, I still can not manage to display the icons of my pages with ie9?
Any ideas where to look?
Thank you
Ben
I found out what was the problem. It was a wrong declaration in the DOCTYPE tag, just put DOCType html and it worked out.
in case this problem occurs to you, use the 'font awesome' web page as a reference and compare with your page.
I copied the 'font awesome' page and modified to check against my page.

I am playing around with webdesign, I always assumed that div's that are positioned relative, always are ordered in the way they are coded. But now I have a div that jumps above another although they are both relative.
A screenshot of the problem:
Here is the code of my index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="CSS/layout.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="CSS/nav.css">
<meta name="description" content="Website template 1">
<meta name="keywords" content="template">
<meta name="author" content="">
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="MainContainer">
<div id="HeaderContainer">
<div id="NavigatieContainer">
<ul id="nav">
<!-- LVL 1 -->
<li>
Home
</li>
<li>
About
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div id="BodyContainer">
<p>test</p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
And here is the code of my layout css:
/*Basic tags*/
body {
background-color: #efebdf;
}
/*DIV ID's*/
div#MainContainer {
width: 60%;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
}
div#HeaderContainer {
position: relative;
}
div#NavigatieContainer {
float: right;
}
div#BodyContainer {
position: relative;
background-color: brown;
}
and the code of my navigation css so far, although I don't think the problem is here:
a {
color:#333333;
}
#nav {
/*-webkit-box-shadow:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4) 0 1px 3px;*/
border-radius: 0.3em;
position: relative;
z-index: 5;
}
#nav li {
margin-right: 10px; /*spacing tussen de list items*/
float:left;/*zorgt voor naast elkaar te plaatsen*/
list-style:none;/*Haalt list bolletjes weg*/
position:relative;
border-radius: 0.3em;
background-color: #e2e0d3;
}
#nav a {
color:black;
display:block;
font-weight:bold;
margin:0;
padding:8px 20px;
text-decoration: none;
}
#Adrift almost got it right, but he mentioned the wrong div. The overflow property should be on the HeaderContainer.
div#HeaderContainer {
position: relative;
overflow: auto;
}
I've created a jsfiddle for you with the result. You might want to add it to any following questions as it allows us to easier detect the problem.
http://jsfiddle.net/7Kx9g/
A little more background informations; once an image floats it is no longer in the document and therefor does not reserve it's own height. A trick called clearfix can be used to prevent it, but it's an advanced way of using overflow: auto; or overflow: hidden;
Do you know how to use inline-block? IMO, it's much easier to organize things with display:inline-block; than to use floats, because float makes it ignore several CSS rules, and the larger your project becomes, the more troublesome this "rule-ignoring" has the POTENTIAL to become.
The problem is caused by the float. Put clear:both; in the css for div#BodyContainer.
