Am designing a site and am quite new to it. So my question may be naive. There are two pages index.html and aboutUs.html.
For this eg, i have removed most of the invalid contents with regards to my question. My question is related to how can we dynamically change or handle the length of the page based on the content. In my case, index.html does not have too much text, so the UI looks fine, however aboutUS.html has too much content, and the content overlaps with the footer. How do I handle such scenarios? For reference, I have added some images below, the first image has no overlap, but the second one has. You can find the source code over at GitHub (https://github.com/vnmshenoy/global)
Images
Your problematic classes seem to be imageDiv and overlap.
Both these have defined heights.
When the content inside the element is larger than this height, it is visible, but is actually spilling outside that position, and so appears on top of the next element. If you set a border on these elements, you will see what I mean.
You could always use the overflow:scroll style here and scrollbars will appear when this happens, but you'd be better making your design a bit more fluid with regard to heights, especially if you plan to make it responsive.

I've been trying to make it responsive to screen size but I noticed a problem when I resize the broawser while on the page. If I shrink and enlarge the browser multiple times the min-height is dynamically getting set to a huge number and I end up with a lot of whitespace.
I've searched my php templates and my css and I can't find anythign that owuld be causing this min-height issue. Does anyone have any ideas?
As per the comments, just comment out the line positionFooter() from the $(window).resize() function.
The reason this theme has this script is to make sure the footer doesn't float into the middle of the page assuming the page has zero content. When the page has zero content, there's nothing to push the footer down. So that script is supposed to keep the footer at the bottom of the page, though it does it poorly.
For future reference, if you need a sticky footer (as it's called), I suggest using Ryan Faits Sticky Footer. Just wrap the content in a main wrapper, make sure the footer is a sibling of the main wrapper then use the supplied CSS to make it work.
I have an ASP.net 4 app with a bunch of pages, all using the Site.Master as the primary layout which is a colored background, border, menu at the top and a gif in the bottom right corner of the border.
I've positioned everything using position:absolute and just set all of the elements in the site.master and the individual elements that appear on each page by using style:"left:100px top 100px" etc
So when you launch the app in normal IE mode everything looks perfect, however if you go full screen or you minimize IE, everything goes completely out of shape and all over the place.
What do I need to do in order for it to be consistent no matter whether you're in normal IE/Full screen/Minimized? Do I need to change the way I have used style:position tags on all of the elements or is it something else that I need to do?
My solution to this was to put a
div style="position:relative;"
inside and at the start of the BodyContent of each page then use absolute positioning on each of the elements which keeps all of them within the BodyContent border and shifts them properly when the browser is minimized or full-screened. Is this a good approach? It seems to have solved the problem I had but I'm concerned it may cause more problems I'm not currently aware of?
Page is not holding your settings because the width off page changes when you change browser size.
To make things all the same no mater what is the size of browser window set this with off body element.
Something like this:
<body style="width:1024px">
CSS - Floating two elements side by side
This conversation is similar to what I am trying to achieve. I have a % based layout and have an issue either the menu will get mixed in with the content or the content will fall below the menu when the page is shrunk or viewed on a mobile phone. I've spent several hours on this and cant figure out what I am doing incorrectly.

Update:
My biggest thing was getting something that worked well with Word Press as it uses very awkward controls and element names. I tried starting with _Underscores but it doesn't seem to have helped as much as I thought it would.
The basic problem is that you are specifying percentage based layouts for some elements like menu-sidebar and main-content but you're not consistent. The menu has a min-width of 200px. What do you want to happen when 200px is greater than 15%? Inside the menu you also have elements specified with exact pixel widths — the various cssmenu maker elements.
The site is very simple — basically a header, footer, side menu, and body. Yet you have two style sheets - one with over 800 lines — and a structure with site-content containing content-area containing site-main containing content-container. It's no wonder it's causing you grief. My advice would be to start over with a simple css framework (like bootstrap mentioned by #jaun above. Keep the structure of the html as simple as possible and avoid copy-paste design with things like menus. Also rather than trying things a seeing what's wrong, describe the behavior you want at various screen sizes and make it happen.
You should use bootstrap (getbootstrap.com) you can use col-md-6 clases to do that. Also mobile phone and tablet ajustment is supported
I want to build a website that has 4 buttons on the left, which change the text in the main window of the site (traditionally that they would take the user to another seperate page).
What I would like it to do is not have to go to another page when the button is click, but rather to hide the text that is in the main window, and change it to the text that is for that new page.
Is there a way to hide the text, and show different text, using CSS?
Thanks for any help.
It is possible with CSS 2 and no javascript. I made an example for you to see here:
http://jsfiddle.net/theguywholikeslinux/QQrFy/
I haven't actually tested it for browser compatibility but I believe it works in most browsers that support css 2 and positioning reasonably well (including older versions of IE). Accessibility will be perfectly fine as long as you don't mind screen readers reading each page at a time all in one go. (although some confusion might be caused by the links).
Essentially there are 4 divs that all have an id set and a specific width, height and positioning (essentially they are all on top of each other). The links are href="#id#" and when you click them the relevant div comes to the top of the stack so you can see it.)
Only downsides are it can cause weird scrolling problems (e.g links at top of page, content to change all the way at the bottom) and you have to have the same fixed size for all of the elements. So if you want to have pages like this that are going to be more than ~700px tall then your pages that only include 200px of content will still scroll down for another 500px.
You cannot do this in css2! You need a javascript
Update:
You can do it with css 3. Please see example: http://jsfiddle.net/RUDyw/
found here: http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/css3-show-and-hide/
No, you need javascript. JQuery or something of the likes will make it easy.
$('#button1').click(function() {
$('#mainwindowtext').text("new text");
});
I am building a website but I started with a template and gutted it, changed a lot and got rid of the entire center section and now I have to start over with the body but whenever I try to insert the navigation menu, which is a javascript code that is inserted from another program I used to build it. Well, every time I try to insert the menu on the left side of the page, it falls outside the alignment of the header and footer, so instead of it being straight aligned with the header and footer on the left side, it is on the outside of where it should be. I'm absolutely retarded when it comes to this stuff so if someone could tell me the trick here and for building the content of the body. Just simple stuff like what html code and tags to use for making the boxes that you can insert things into, not image placeholders but boxes to input content like navigation menu or anything really?
HELP PLEASE.
here is the site.

I also get an invalid URL error.
By the sounds of your problem though, you should be able to fix it relatively quickly and easily. I assume from the sounds of it that your header and footer are a fixed width and that there is likely a fixed width block within the body that is forcing the body to be wider when you add in the (most likely) fixed width nav as well. If that's the case, then you will just need to change the way you are controlling the widths to suit the new nav bar. So reduce the width of one block to accomodate the width of the new one, make sense?
Remember, I haven't actually seen what the problem is, so I'm just guessing from your question here based on the most likely sceanario.
I would also recommend learning the basics first. Designing a website isn't as everyone makes it out to be. As an extreme beginner without using WYSIWYG editors, coding HTML can be very complex. There aren't just "tags to use for making the boxes that you can insert things into."
Yes, there are <p> and <div> tags that will do what you want, but you need to understand what each tag does and when to use it.
I recommend the following sites:
w3schools
HTML Goodies
Webmonkey
Search Google for "HTML basics"
That URL isn't valid, apparently.
I also can't see your page, but I can see http://www.thexdt.com. Is the design similar to that page?
That page uses tables for the general structure. Is there is a large image or something bigger that the width of the external container?
