I've been trying several solutions, but the clickable areas for links in my navigation sidebar aren't where they should be. I'm just looking to get the entire div or even just the text inside to be a link.

If you hover at the very top of "home" you'll finally locate one of the links. One of the solutions I attempted very early seemed to finally fix the problem, but then caused the entire sidebar to have scroll for width and push the social media icons down passed the bottom of the screen where they refused to budge. Unfortunately I can't seem to find this solution anymore since it's the only one that actually did what I wanted even if it broke a lot of other things.
There was originally supposed to be drop down menus, but even taking them out didn't seem to help.
And this isn't a problem with Weebly, I've checked that.
You do not need to apply position:absolute to the .sidebar-nav div and the #social div. Make them position: relative. They will automatically fall one below the other just as you need them. Then, remove the excessive padding that you've used on the divs to re-position them.
Currently, since the two are positioned absolutely, the social div is overlapping on top of the .sidebar-nav div and inadvertently preventing you from clicking on the buttons.
Adding a negative z-index to #social in your css file will solve your immediate problem but it looks like you may still have to work on the mobile version of your navigation.

I've looked everywhere and I've tried almost everything and I can't seem to understand why my work is messing up. I even asked my ict teacher for help but I didn't want to tell him that it didn't show up since he spent ages on it.
Anyways, uh quite frustrated since everything is going wrong. I just want my footer to be at the bottom of the page and for me to write on the page without it going into the header.
coding for website: https://gist.github.com/JazmineCz/12884de1cf76ce72f3265b83c13aab76
The <footer> just act as a <div> and don't have some special property to get at the bottom of the page.
Your page don't have that much content so that the footer get to the bottom, What I mean is footer is at correct place at the end of page as your page is ending there
One thing you can do is fill up the page.
another was to move it to bottom are using css.
2 things you can do either give the article section a height:100vh this will make the Article section a vertical page long, or *make the footer's postion:fixed and then set bottom:0 this will fix the position of footer and it will be not move even you scroll
You need to give height to your section. For example;
section {
height: 500px;
}
Your footer is in the bottom actually. Since you don't have enough content between, it doesn't have a place at the bottom.

I am facing problem with overlapping div.
Please refer site my site : http://ayurved-infertility.in/index.html
As you can see in the site, top menu and left menu is inside div which is in absolute position and moving with the screen. And content is just behind the absolute div. Also I given background as transparent. so, we can see the behind text easily.
Now, my problem is if I put any hyperlink to the text that is just behind the absolute div, no-one can be able to click on the link because absolute div is overlapping.
So, how can I overcome from this problem ? If it is not possible then please suggest me a better way so, that my website look and functionality doesn't change and I can be able to click on hyperlink in the text.
First of all you could remove the height:500px of the element shown in the screenshot. Now you can click part of the text (green area).
After that you can either remove the left nav and be done with it.
Or place it outside of the table element and give it a fixed position. This is the quickest and easiest solution I can come up with.
In general you shouldn't be using this table method of positioning stuff on a website at all.
Your floating/absolute divs should only be as wide as your left menu item
The DIV surrounding your DL (the menu) should be
width:140px;
position:absolute;

I was wondering when styling some of my website's what the correct use of the top, right, left, bottom properties are.
This would sound like an way too open question so I am narrowing it down to this: Let's say if I am styling some text that I want at the bottom of my page would it be correct to use something like bottom: 265px;?
This would give the desired result however is this also considered clean code and a correct use of this function?
Or would there be a better option for this. I am wondering this because I also have to make my site's responsive as well.
I have had a read through W3schools - CSS Positioning and Stackoverflow Question - CSS Positioning but it did not have the anwser I am looking for
You use top, bottom, left, and right to place absolute-positioned content.
There are certainly cases where absolute positioning is the best and cleanest approach. The problem is that it's too easy to overuse, which can lead to very fragile layouts.
Signs that you're overusing absolute-positioning:
every time you change something in the page you end up having to
update a lot of absolute-positioned elements
different content (a too-long header, or a too-short paragraph, or etc) causes things to overlap unintentionally
your layout only works for specific screen sizes, and doesn't flow to match the browser window width
It's almost always better to start by letting the browser do most of the work, depend on document flow to position the majority of the content, and reserve absolute positioning for only the elements that really truly need to be in exactly the same place no matter what else is going on on the page. In practice, most of the time, this tends to be relatively few (or no) elements.

I have two questions, in the NAV I´m making with CSS I use a div box as a sub-menu which comes up when hovering the menu. But I use also a CSS made triangle which is right underneath the menu. Here is the sample I use:
http://jsfiddle.net/f0t20sej/
Here are the two problems.
<div class="arrow-up"></div>
This is the div with the arrow
One: How could I center the triangle depending on the with of the list item? Cause the width is variable and I was looking to center that but haven’t found out how.
The div that displays after hover is the next
<div class="dropdown"> </div>
Two: When you hover over the menu the submenu comes up, BUT when you try to go to the submenu it closes cause of the margin I put so the triangle can be seen. Only if you hover through the triangle will the submenu stay open, but its kind of hard to figure that out and not really helpful at all. I need for the margin space to be hover also so the submenu wont disappear before getting to it.
Any ideas are welcome on both of them :D Thanks in advance for the help.
For the margin space and triangle issue, maybe you could put a transparent div (with padding) behind the triangle & menu.
background-color:transparent;

I have a quick question about CSS positioning. I have already looked up all about absolute, relative, static etc but am still having problems. So, for example, on one of my webpages, I am using four different div's for the four seperate sections I have on the page. I can manage to position them so they look perfect, but the top left section expands as the user adds entrys. When it expands, it then overlaps the section below it. Same with the other side, the section expands a little if it needs to display error messages and overlaps the section below it. Any suggestions as to how I would overcome this?
Thank you !!
If you want divs to flow normally on a page, you don't have to use positioning. Generally, if you are using positioning, you use it for a div that you want to have in a specific place that would in a normal situation, be somewhere else. For example: you would position something relatively if you wanted it to actually escape the container it is in. You would position something absolutely if you want it to be in exactly the same place, no matter what (this includes scrolling) OR if you want to overlap divs using a z-index.
Usually, if you just want divs to line up side by side, you can display: inline or use float.
