I have multiple images that take up the entire screen and auto resize (positioned absolutely and some JavaScript) however for the life of me I can not get content to be placed UNDER that div. I put the images in a div container and that div is positioned relative to every other one. The div with the necessary content is relative as well. The images are absolute within a relative div. Can someone take a look at my code and let me know exactly whats going on? I just can't figure it out, and after all the research I have done I do not see why it isn't working. Thank You! Below is the external style sheet and the HTML. I believe the issue is within the actual HTML for div cycler (where the images are), because I embedded the style within the HTML for that div and the content at least does fall under the top divs (defined in style sheet).

Do you needed this, '#cycler img{position:absolute}'.
If you remove the absolute position of the 'img' tag in the cycler div, the text will go down as you needed.
#cycler img{z-index:1;width: 100%; max-width: 5472px;min-width: 359px; height: auto;; text-align: center;box-shadow: 3px 2px 6px #333333; float:left}
This will do.
To know about absolute position this is a good short answer.
position: absolute;
This tells the browser that whatever is going to be positioned should be removed from the normal flow of the document and will be placed in an exact location on the page. It won't affect how the elements before it or after it in the HTML are positioned on the Web page however it will be subject to it's parents' positioning unless you override it.

I am trying to make a website and am running into an issue of not being able to remove a chunk of white space.
I am using an image as a background and want the main text and logo to be in the middle of the background image.
I have tried using overflow-x: hidden; as well as messing with margin, padding, width and height values of different elements in the css file but, I cannot get it to work. I tried to set the width and height bigger but it won't expand to any size screen.
I haven't had this issue before and do not know why it is happening now.
My Code:
h1 {
font-family: "times new roman";
font-size: 2.5em;
color: rgb(100, 181, 204);
}
#box {
border-width: 0.25em;
border-style: solid;
border-color: black;
width: 50em;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding: 1em;
font-family: sans-serif;
color: black;
background: rgb(135, 129, 140);
}
div {
margin: 0 auto;
}
html,
body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0px;

This is happening because your background image is outside your <body> tag.
There's better and more maintainable ways of doing what you're trying to do, without all that "hacking".
I'll try to modify a bit of your code and comment it out so you can understand it a bit more.
Using images as a background
When you want to use an image as a background, use it as a CSS background-image Property. There's some occasions it would be better to use the way you were trying to use it, but generally and for this specific case background-image is more suitable.
.myElement {
background-image: url("paper.jpg");
}
If you want your text centralized inside of an element with a background, wrap your content with a new element, insert the content inside of it, and then give to this new element the background-image property.
<div class="newElement">
<div class="content-wrapper">
<h2>Your Title Goes Here</h2>
<p>Your Description Goes Here</p>
</div>
</div>
.newElement{
background-image: url("paper.jpg");
}
All together your code should look something like this:
/* New Code Added */
.newElement {
background-image: url(http://lorempixel.com/400/400/abstract/);
background-repeat: no-repeat; /* Makes background nto repeat */
background-size: cover; /* Sets background size as a cover */
background-color: #cccccc;
padding: 2rem; /* Give the padding here instead of logo to avoid "breadking" the image's 100% width. A lesson for another day */
}
/* Old Code. Check comments */
h1 {
font-family: "times new roman";
font-size: 2.5em;
color: rgb(100, 181, 204);
}
#box {
border-width: 0.25em;
border-style: solid;
border-color: black;
/* width: 50em; No need for this being added */
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;

.centertext {
text-align: center;
width: 60%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
#logo {
width: 100%;
max-width: 840px; /* Sets a max-width. Same size of the picture's width. So we avoid image losing focus when the screen gets bigger */
height: auto; /* automatically follows the lead of the width, scalling the image equally without distortion */

If you wanted a background image for all the website, just move the
background-image attributes to the body tag instead.
body {
background-image: url("paper.jpg");
}
Removing the width you were adding to the box and mainnav
elements, the content even becomes responsive so it's ready for mobile
devices.
Read more about background-image and its properties.
Not sure if I understood your question a 100%, but if you're trying to get the background image to cover the entire document, try wrapping it around the entire document with a css property.
Example: remove the img tag that you have.
<body id="background">
<!-- rest of your code here -->
</body>
then in the css add background-image to reference your img under the id background :
#background {
background-image: url("images/background.jpg");
}
So far, I have managed to get my footer to always stick to the bottom, however, I have been struggling to get the content or images on my webpage to push the footer down. I have been trying absolute, fixed, relative positions for the footer but to no avail as the content in the class "container2" continues to go under the footer. It also shouldn't be sticky footer similar to the nav bar but like a natural footer where it is pushed down by content.

First off, I am a bit confused why you are using the <br> tag so much, but it almost looks like you are trying to space the elements with them. You may want to use padding or margin to do that.
Lastly, I think what you are looking for is position: fixed. Try this:
footer {
width:100%;
position: fixed; /* use fixed instead of absolute */
bottom: 0; /* set bottom to 0 */
height:300px;
font-size: 15px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
text-align:center;
background-color:black;
border-width: 10px;
color: white;
}
You have several problems in your css. The main problem for your content not to appear is that you're using overflow: hidden; in container2 and height: 1000px; this causes everything that exceeds 1000px won't be show. Try removing overflow: hidden or overflow: x-scroll.
This is the documentation for the overflow property, I suggest you read it for a better understanding of your problem. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/overflow
There are some things that you should change 1. you are using absolute position outside relative 2. using absolute values for hight is not good practice 3. is always better use padding and margin to make space ect. Keep fixed position only for header nav and comment out all fixed hight values(px)and absolute and relative positioning to start with. Absolute position should be inside relative if there is not special reason not to do that. To get out from main problem start with footer and container2. But there is lot more to fix.
You need set a min-height for html, body {min-height: 100vh;}
Set footer as position: fixed; bottom: 0; left: 0;
Hopefully this will help you.
According to this answer, putting display: block; float: none; position: relative; in a selector should ensure that the margin: 0px auto trick to horizontally center an element works. This is my code for attempting to center the body within the html element:
body {
background-color: lightgray;
float: left;
font-family: 'Lato', 'Roboto', 'Arial', 'Verdana', sans-serif;
margin: 0px auto;
/* Adding these last 3 doesn't seem to make a difference */
display: block;
float: none;
position: relative;
}
When I specify the pixels manually like 0px 500px, it works out fine. Does anyone know why auto doesn't seem to be working in this case?
edit: Guys, it doesn't work even when I specify the width for the body. https://jsfiddle.net/ozm2x9zx/
You have to mention width to make it center.
<style>
body {
margin: auto;
width:50%;
}
</style>
And also no need to mention px for 0(Zero) values.
You missed the 4th point in that answer your referred to:
The element must have a width that is not auto
Which was then explained in the notes:
Technically, margin: 0 auto does work with an auto width, but the auto width takes precedence over the auto margins, and the auto margins are zeroed out as a result, making it seem as though they "don't work".
So add a width to your body and you will see it working. Ah, but here is the catch: you are applying it to the body, not any element on the page. It works, but you will not see the effect unless you make the color of the html different from the body. Try this:
html {
background-color: red;
}
body {
background-color: lightgray;
float: left;
font-family: 'Lato', 'Roboto', 'Arial', 'Verdana', sans-serif;
margin: 0 auto;
display: block;
float: none;
position: relative;
width: 70%;
}
You need to remove float, off of your body element and your container sits in the middle perfectly.
Also, there is no need to attribute the unit type, (px), on a value of zero.
Consider:
body {
background-color: lightgray;
background-image: url('../images/brushed.png');
background-repeat: repeat;
font-family: 'Lato', 'Roboto', 'Arial', 'Verdana', sans-serif;
margin:0;
}
div#container {
background-color: #aaaaaa;
color: white;
width: 960px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
I just remove float:left; from body, and it is centered +
most of the time -> margin:0px auto; will work fine with display:table;

As I am transitioning from using template layouts to writing my own css scripts, I have run into many issues, but there's one preventing me from continuing. I have successfully created a 3 column layout with floating divs, however upon browser re-size the right column overlays the middle div. I have imported the script found on Div sections shifts when i resize the window with no success. Basically I want the layout to behave like the current one, at http://www.allstarselectric.com , but using %. I am using % for cross resolution support, so is there a workaround/solution, or are pixels absolutely necessary? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In your CSS, you have a fixed width set for .chromestyle ul. Change that width to a %, and that should fix your problem.
The first answer to the article you linked provides you with the most reasonable solution: "You can wrap around the two divs with another div of a minimum width you want the page to be viewed in." There isn't much point in trying to fit a page to a 320x240 browser; scroll bars can't be avoided in that kind of resolution.
Something like this
.foowrap { min-width: 550px; width: 100%; overflow:auto; }
.foo { width:30%; float:left; }
<div class="foowrap">
<div class="foo">bar</div>
<div class="foo">baz</div>
<div class="foo">bum</div>
</div>
Then make sure that the total minimum width of the divs inside (class foo in the example) is not more than the min-width you set. Watch out for borders especially.
By the way, you have two </body> and you're using <center>, both of which are things you should avoid. This bit doesn't make much sense either: <br><tr>text/other</br></tr>
Problem:

The trouble I am currently having is that the border around my body is not outlining everything. As I have recently learned I'm guessing this means an element is out of the flow due to floating? However I am not certain how to fix it in this case.

thanks in advance guys!!
This is happening because your body has fix height of 100%.Change body tag css as:
height:auto;
min-height: 100%
if this doesn't work then add following with this:
overflow:auto;
Probably better NOT to use the body element for your container. Instead, just add
<div class="container"></div>
around your code and in your CSS changehtml to body and body to div.container.
body{
font-family: sans-serif;
background-color:#464E54;
height: 100%;
}
div.container{
width: 960px;
margin: auto;
background-color: white;
border: 3px solid black;
padding: 0;
}
Edit: I completely missed the 100%, that's gotta be it.
Add overflow: hidden to your body element. When elements are floated it will not push the parent container height past it unless there is a clearer
