I'm not very good with HTML/CSS. Here is the website that I'm trying to edit. I'm unsure if this should be in WordPress Stack because even though my website is in WordPress, the problem is with the CSS. Also, I'm really sorry for bad English (I know 5 languages so its kinda hard to keep up).
The problem is that the grid (Essential Grid which displays a product catalog) and the container above it are both children of one div. When I try to change the padding of my grid, It changes the padding relative to the top of the parent div rather than instead of its sibling which is on top of it.
I'm not sure what CSS properties might be affecting this(I'm not very good at CSS) but I have posted the ones which I think might be the problem. Please visit the link and inspect element (Sorry..)
.child-on-top{
//acutal id on page is featured-111
width: 99.8936px;
height: 449px;
background-size: 100% 100%;
}
.child-below{
position: relative;
padding-top: 100px;
}
.parent{
//actual id is wrapper.
position: relative;
clear: both;
}
One solution that has worked so far is if I increase the top padding to about 500 px, that would add about 50 pixels of padding above the child element thats below. But that will only work in desktop. In mobile, you will get a lot of empty space. So it isn't really a solution.
Add folowing css and then check. Your div which have id featured-111 which take floating from class grid and because of this problem create. So write this css
#featured-111{
float:none;
}

I want to make the instagram button 30px from the right and 30 px from the top. But when using margin-right: 30px;, nothing happens, and when using right: 30px;, it plain disappears. Can someone please explain when and how to use margin-right ect and right, left, top, bottom attributes if at all? I'm new to html/css and positioning elements seems to be the hardest bottleneck to pass.
You have position:fixed on .topbar but there is no width to it. Set a width to inherit from container, and then set position for the button, i recommend adding the class to the a tag instead of the img tag
Html:
<a href="https://www.instagram.com/majic.photography/" target="_blank" class = "instagrambutton">
<img src="instagram-logo-white.png" alt="majic.photography" />
</a>
CSS:
.topbar {
position:fixed;
width:inherit;
}
.instagrambutton {
position: absolute;
width: 50px;
background-color: black;
padding: 10px;
top:30px;
right:30px
}
The others have provided the answers you need. My answer is not the answer you really want right now, but I am providing it because you are new to HTML and CSS.
Can I strongly recommend moving away from Absolute positioning it becomes damn near impossible to manage when you start thinking about cross-browser compatibility and now cross device compatibility (30px on a desktop is far different from 30px on a mobile screen). When I was new to software development I used absolute positioning a lot and having to almost write a new CSS script for each browser/device with custom styles (maybe slightly exaggerated).
Having been out of the field and then coming back in in the last year or so, I strongly recommend learning and using bootstrap to style your web page.
can anyone find the solution to my problem? I've beed tweaking my CSS sheets and it doesnt seem like its changing anything. I'm using the same rules for the "4sites" image as to my "About" img.
Heres a link to the site, you can see all of my css sheets from there too.

I know you can create everything in just one CSS sheet, but my professor asked us to make it like the way it is..
I added a div tag around the img thinking that I could control it better.. But it doesnt seem like its the case!
Mucho Thanks!
You're trying to keep the height of image as 100%. If this is a responsive design then, the width has to be 100% and height to be kept as auto
CSS:
#Mybio #Mepic img {
clear: none;
float: left;
height: auto;
width: 100%;
margin-bottom: 100px;
margin-top: 55px;
}
Now the question is, the image is taking the whole width of the screen, well, that's normal. You have to restrict the parent div(id as #Mepic) and handle it with media queries for different screen sizes. Also I saw float issues on you're site. Use Clear:both to get rid of them.
I want to make a header like http://www.chacha.com (doesn't move, is about that wide and that height, and able to fit divs inside it and also has to be an image)
I am starting off with a blank html document and a blank css page, so there I haven't currently written any code.
I've been trying two days straight to do this now so I would really appreciate any help anyone can provide.
I have gimp so if anyone could also give me image dimensions for a perfect header and perfect background size I would appreciate it even more.
CSS:
#header {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 10px;
background: url(yourimage.png) repeat-x;
}
<!--html -->
<div id="header"></div>
That should give you a starting place, I can't tell you more without seeing exactly what the layout's supposed to be.
The CSS property you're looking for is position: fixed which will position the element relative to the viewport. This is good breakdown of positioning: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/CSS/position
In this specific case, what you've got is an element with styles roughly along these lines:
#header_id {
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
height: 35px;
}
You don't have to set the height, but unless there is content in the fixed element, it will collapse if there is no height specified. They also appear to have put a drop-shadow on the element toget the neat floating effect.
If you want to have an image inside, you can just put the <img> inside the header element, or use it as the background-image url in the CSS and position it with background-position (see also: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/CSS/background-position although the compatability table at the bottom is important if you want to do anything too specific with this property).
You can do this with any block-level element (or any element with display:block set on it). In your example they are using the HTML5 <header> tag; a <div> would work, too, if <header> wasn't appropriate for your page.
I would recommend using the Firebug addon with Firefox (or similar developer consoles with other modern browsers) -- you can right click on an element on the page and select 'Inspect element' from the dropdown menu and get a breakdown of both the markup and styling to see how other websites are constructed. Very useful for when you're browsing the internet and you see something and think, 'that's a neat trick, how does it work?'
FOR FULL WIDTH FIXED HEADER
header {
width:100%;
background:green;
height:60px;
margin:-8px;
position:fixed;
}
FOR NONFULL WIDTH FIXED HEADER
Create a div and set width and height (you can also set it left or right by float:left, float:right)
then in this div put the code above but without margin:-8px; and change the width to the width that your div has.
Here is a test
I'm trying to add a content rotator to a site I'm building. The rotator works fine. In fact, it works out better than I had hoped. I need to tweak some styling things, but that's besides the point.
For some reason, the rotator (which is relatively positioned and inside my container/wrapper div) pulls my wrapper and menu down with it when I add a margin to the top of it (margin:65px auto 0; or something like that). Any words of advice?

This sounds like a classic case of collapsing margins.
You can fix this by giving the container a border-top, margin-top, padding-top, or an overflow other than visible. (jsFiddle)
you can probably accomplish what you want by giving #wrapper top padding instead giving #slideshow top margin.
I run into this problem a lot when I put elements inside of inline elements. You should be able to fix it by doing one of the following:
Set the element you're having trouble with to display: block; (Usually a good enough fix)
Use top-padding like already suggested (nothing wrong with using band-aids if it works...)
Set the element to float: left; (Not really recommended, can cause some problems down the line, but will definitely allow you to add top and bottom margins)
How about this?
#menu {
position: relative;
width: auto;
height: 100px;
left: 383px;
top: 0px;
}
I have designed a layout and i find some gaps in the stacking of divs over each other.
can some one help me http://uniquedl.com/3closets/about.html
and
You need this in style.css:
img { display: block }
and you need to change the height on .introduction .intro-message to 384px, to match the height of the image on the left.
Doing this solves both problems.
As an alternative to img { display: block }, you could instead do: img { vertical-align:bottom }. This also fixes.
See this answer for a good explanation of what's going on here.
#Alohci explains it very nicely.
You have a <div class="clear"></div> in both instances there. I would say that the page is behaving as expected.
Edit: If you use Google Chrome to view this page, you can right click on an area and choose "inspect element". It will provide a window that will display the code as it's rendered by the browser, and on the right there will be another properties window that displays the css being assigned to the elements you're looking at.
in their div .introduction you have an image larger than the div itself, this must be the problem, including the other divs
First gap: your class .introduction is having height of 384px where else class .intro-message (which is a child of .introduction) is having a height of 390px.
Hi for your website :http://uniquedl.com/3closets/about.html just make the style like
.introduction {
height: 384px;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
}
Then it will work
