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.

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.
The menu of the following website https://www.thedegreetracker.com/ has the following issue. The menu seems to be wider than the rest of the page. This is causing a horizontal scroll bar appear at the bottom of my browser's window. When one scrolls over (or maximizes the browser page on a very wide computer screen), it causes other parts of the page, such as the banner and the footer, to disappear when you scroll over.
By way of contrast, the following page does not have the same problem: https://www.thedegreetracker.com/about_us. This second page is how I want the first one to work in terms of the banner and footer resizing correctly, and no horizontal scroll.
As far as I can tell, the HTML and CSS code between the two pages is nearly identical. The differences I have found don't seem to make a difference. I have spent hours trying to figure out what is causing this issue and I am now asking for fresh eyes. I'm using Bootstrap 3 and Laravel, for what it's worth.
I'm hoping this is an easy fix that I'm just missing. You'll probably have more luck using Chrome Dev Tools on the actual web pages to figure this one out, but below is the HTML for both pages. As far as I can tell, the CSS is exactly the same for both pages.

The problem is the within the form, not the menu. You have wrongly used the container class (reserved by Bootstrap for setting width of page) inside your form.
Also, your form has a class of .container but you're overwriting the max-width property. This will likely cause responsiveness problems. Try not to touch width, max-width and min-width on classes that a framework uses for setting the width of content and layout, in general. If you must, use an inner-container.
Getting back to your problem, you should have probably used no class at all for your containers inside the form. As a rule of thumb, try to use class names that do not collide with the class names of your framework.
To fix your issue, either remove container from inside your form or, as a general patch for this type of error, add this CSS:
.container .container {
width: initial;
}
Working on a new design using bootstrap3 and trying to stretch the page so that even if there's not enough content to fill the page, the footer section would stay to the bottom.
The reason why I'm using position absolute, is because there's a link from the billing software that's being added within the content, I don't want to remove the link but position it a bit to the bottom in the footer section, in the center bottom, thus since I can't control where this will appear(do know where appears, just can't control), using position absolute on the specific element helps me here.
Now, that's not issue, just saying why I need to use position absolute and why I made the divs like this:
wrapper
>>wrapper_content
>>wrapper_footer
fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/raicabogdan/jsk1b7ua/4/
the footer section is properly set to the bottom, however for some reason, the wrapper_content does not go 100% height automatically on load or on window resize. Also if you resize to mobile view, content will go down few table rows.
The content goes under the footer section.
What am I doing wrong here? Left a fiddle of the html page along with some css that I felt were needed above.
Hope there's someone that could get me out of this.
Cheers.
Try this link. I have used this method to get the footer to stay at the bottom of the window.

I'm trying to have a sticky footer on my page but with a twist compared to what I've seen before.
The top of the footer as to always be sticky at 50px after the content and a green color as to fill the rest of the footer until the end of the page.
You can see an example on http://enviro2012.tapagecommunication.com
The problem is even better illustrate if you clicl on the "send" button in the Facebook plugin at the bottom of the page.
Let me know if you need more info! :)
Thanks!
I've had this one before. I tried all sorts of methods, including checking the window height against the vertical position of the footer, then setting the footer height to the difference. It didn't work too badly across most browsers.
However, the most simple (and fast-rendering) solution was to add enough bottom padding to the footer to cover the gap on most window sizes. Assuming your content is always going to fill the majority of the page, a few hundred pixels should be more than enough – and renders properly the first time the page loads.
Been struggling with this for at least a couple hours now. Tried searching around but no solution seems to be working. So anyways, I have a template that I'm working on, and the issue that I'm having is that the sidebar on the left just will not stretch all the way down! If the window is maximized, it looks totally fine. Once you resize the window though it breaks, leaving a large gap between the sidebar and the footer. It also breaks if the content goes down the page any more than it currently does...
See for yourself here: http://bakedcraft.ca/laboratory/testsites/crock/template.html
and the css: http://bakedcraft.ca/laboratory/testsites/crock/css/default.css
Any ideas?
Add position:relative to your .main class
right now your side bar is 100% height of the window, not the main container. by adding position:relative to the sidebar's parent, when the sidebar is 100% height, it becomes 100% of the main div.
Sorry, this isn't really an answer but it's not letting me write a comment...
I looked at your code in firebug (firefox + web developer add-on) and it's showing a box constraint of 467px height I tried to quickly find where this 467px are coming from but can't see it with quick look (it's 4 AM). It's inheriting that height from somewhere, most likely from a combination of other size constraints of related elements. With all the positioning you have going on, in may be hard to locate.
One suggestion I have is if you plan on making a fluid layout you should work with em's rather than straight pixels. As I said, this isn't an answer but I did notice the size constraint of your sidebar. If this problem is still open in the morning I'll see if I can get a better look at it for you.
Alright I was running your problem through my head and I think I figured it out. Forgive me cuz I'm typing this on my phone and can't use firebug to verify if I'm right or not but the constraint I noticed earlier of 467px is n't inherited from another container it's being constained by the text in the sidebar div. If u were to add more text the box will grow with it. I believe what u may want to do is make a child conatiner within the side bar div. Your main sidebar div will only house your grey background color grey. Create a child div within the sidebar div and put your text and images into those. Make sure on the parent div you make it's height 100%. The height of the elements inside the child div shouldn't need height specifications since they will be inherited from the parent sidebar div. Hope this makes sense.
You can do the fix mentioned earlier with using jquery but remember if someone shuts of their JavaScript then your issue remains and your page will break. You should try to find and fix the root cause not use a bandaid that can be taken off.
