Why is there so much whitespace between the two divs? - html

Picture of the white space between "header" and "content"
I just got back into web work and cannot figure this out! Theres a big gap between the header div and the content div that isn't present with the sidebar div and the code isn't too different for each one so thats why it confuses me. I don't know where the whitespace is coming from.
I took some stuff out of my code that wasn't relevant but let me know if theres something that isn't there.

width: 600px;

}

It's caused by the fact that .sidebartitle isn't floating, so .contenttitle won't float right of it, but stays below it. If you float .sidebartitle, however, .sidebar will be right of .sidebartitle, so just put a wrapper DIV around sidebartitle AND sidebar and make that float:left;.

Multiple div inside caption tag

I am trying to divide a caption area into 2 div each 50%, align the text to left on the left div and align the text to right on the other one.
I cannot quite get the result I want, how can I fix this?

If you display these as a table-cells (using the display:table-cell css) it'd make things easier. I didn't swap in a blue colour, but focused on your position problem.
You can probably afford to make the columns different widths if what you want is one column to be far-left aligned and the other to be aligned to the far right (or just have both close to 100% - not quite 100 cos of padding/margins). But I'll leave it for you to mess with. I put in span tags around the Ticket Details for better css control.
.ticket-table, .tcaption {
width: 100%;
background-color: var(--myBlue3);
}
.tcaption .left-part,
.tcaption .right-part {
display: table-cell;
width: 50vh;
color: var(--myBlue6);
vertical-align:top;
}
.left-part, .left-part span {
text-align: left;
padding: 5px 0 5px 0;
font-weight: bold;
float:left;
}
.right-part, .right-part a {
text-align: right;
float: right;
}

That's because the <caption> is only as big as it's parent <table>. Increase the width of the <table> and you should get what you want.
.tcaption {
width: 100%;
background-color: #cee7ff;
}
table {
width: 100%;
}
.tcaption-left-part {
color: blue;
width: 50%;
float: left;
text-align: left;

.tcaption-right-part {

width: 50%;
float: right;
text-align: right;

Static Header when scrolling

I coded a homepage and now I am trying to build a header, which is static like not scrolling with, when content is being scrolled. It should stay at the top while the content goes beneath/under it. I found this solution here, however, it's not working for me as I don' know where to put this code in, because everything I tried didn't work.
Click here for jsfiddle!.
My HTML is:

Just set it to a fix positioned element.
#header1{
position: fixed;

Add
position:fixed;
into the header1 part of your css.
you could also do it in the call as
<div id="header1" style="position:fixed">

Can't seem to get the position correct

So I just want to say sorry for messy code, I have tried vigorously with this. Basically I want there to be 3 images side by side which I will later make clickable, and a gray background behind them. Then I want to be able to include text below the images. Any help?

There is a special way of making that type of arrangement (image with caption).
And this would be my way of doing what you need:
HTML
<div id="container">
<figure>
<img src="http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/visualpharm/icons8-metro-style/128/Business-Assistant-icon.png"/>
<figcaption>Fig.1 - A view of the pulpit rock in Norway.</figcaption>

<figcaption>Fig.1 - A view of the pulpit rock in Norway.</figcaption>
</figure>
</div>
CSS
#container{
background:#ccc;
}
#container figure{
float:left
}
How about this..
<table id="table1">
<tr id="imgs">

Div position out of order and inheriting width for some reason

so I'm making a basic webpage to learn HTML & CSS and is part of an assingment I'm doing for school.
Basically my problem is this:
I have a footer div that is appering above another div in my page AND is displaying at the same width as that div. Here is my Code:
<div id="header">
<img src="img/manchester-united-logo.png">
<h1>Manchester United </h1>
</div>
<div id="slider">
<ul class="bxslider">
<li><img src="img/striker.jpg" title="Forwards" /></li>
<li><img src="img/mids.jpg" title="Midfielders" /></li>
<li><img src="img/defenders.jpg" title="Defenders" /></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="windows">
<table id="boxTable">
<tr>
<td class="box"><img src="img/David Moyes.jpg" title="The Manager"></td>
<td class="spacer"></td>
<td class="box"><img src="img/history.jpg" title="History"></td>
<td class="spacer"></td>
<td class="box"><img src="img/statCentre.jpg" title="Fixtures & Results"></td>
<td class="spacer"></td>
<td class="box"><img src="img/stadium.jpeg" title="Old Trafford"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="box"><div class="button"><p><p><a href="URL.htm">The Manager</p></div></td>
<td class="spacer"></td>
<td class="box"><div class="button"><p>History</p></div></td>

I Figure my problem has something to do with my floating another div..
You haven't closed your table with </table> ;-)
You are also missing a </a> in your links

THE FOOTER WHICH IS ANNOYING!!
</div>
</body>

Scrollable List On Left of Div

This is in a ASP.NET web application targeting .NET 3.5 and using an AJAX asp:UpdatePanel. For my page layout, I have several divs separating the vertical space of the page into 5 sections (header, first content, second content, third content, & footer).
The first content section contains information about the overall item the page is generated for (title and some properties). The third section contains additional tables of information about the page's item. And the headers and footers are...well...headers and footers.
The second content section will have 2 sub-sections, a list of images and the currently selected image. It will work like the standard list of thumbnails in a list where you click an item and the currently selected image will be updated to the clicked thumbnail. The currently selected image sub-section is wrapped by the AJAX asp.UpdatePanel and contains a title, properties table, and an image that all get updated when the selection changes.
The list can contain a large enough number of images so that when all are displayed, there would be lots of whitespace generated by pushing the selected image section bigger.
The currently selected image section will have a defined height inside the update panel that can change based on the size of the image the user wants to view (small, medium, large).
What I want is to have the list of images be sized to the height of the selected image section with a scrollbar for the overflow.
I've created a simple HTML page (below) that defines some simple content and divs, how do I get it to look like my desired layout (above)? I've tried different things that I know of using floating and whatnot, but nothing seems to come out the way I want. I would prefer not to have to specify widths or heights (except for the explicit height of the selected image div) and let things auto adjust to their contents if possible.
