Having problems executing a complex layout with minimal usage of relative and absolute positioning.
Here's my layout:
All my elements are floating left sitting side by side with only a single problem: the border img needs to bleed down into the next row. How can I do that while preventing the elements in the 2nd row (the CTA elements) from scooting down below the lower margin of border img?
This is what happens if I set the height of border img
For clarification:
The dom is such that border img is between main_sidebar and CTA_top_container.
main_side_image
main_heading_container
main_sidebar
border_img
CTA_top_container
CTA_Button_relative
Closing thoughts:
I have some ideas, like floating right the border img as a div (or susy's last) and setting background-image as 60% width and positioned on the left of the div or nesting an absolute positioned img inside of a relative container to nudge it over to the left, but i am afraid of destroying the fluidity of the layout (it's inside of a susy fluid grid).
Any thoughts?
If you float the border_img right instead of left (with some right margin to push it off the edge), everything else should be able to flow around it.
You might also want to use a grid with more columns. If you're always having to split columns into fractions, it's not really the right grid for the job.

Having trouble getting the black bar at the bottom of the slider to stretch full-width on the screen. It works on the left, but the right side is cut off at the container edge. Using Master Slider if that's relative info. Any tips on how I can get that black bar to stretch all the way across?

To fix the issue
Remove tranform property from the div having class ms-slide ms-sl-selected
Remove width property from the div having class ms-layer. As div is absolutely positioned, set left and right values to 0 to make it full width
Remove max-width and left from div with class ms-slide-layers also
Although I feel, structure is not proper, having relative positions within absolute creates problems. Still above fix can save you from re-write.
A few classes like ms-slide-layers, ms-inner-controls-cont and ms-layer have hardcoded values for left, width and, most limiting in this case, max-width.
I think this case would benefit from using the viewport width unit, vw by setting width: 100vw; you're telling it to be the width of the entire viewport.
Also, you don't need the padding and margin in 9999px. You can position: absolute the layer, have bottom: 0 and then use reasonable padding and align the text according to your needs to get a better, cleaner result.
First set a position (anything other than static) to its parent element. Then set the black bar's position to absolute. This way, it will be relative to its nearest parent element that contains a position. Next, stretch it out by either using height and width properties, or use directional positions (top, bottom, left, right). If youll use directional positions then use both left and right simultaneously and the black bar will expand across the screen.
I positioned two div elements side-by-side by using float= left;
But buttons are getting displayed beside the div elements.
I want the button elements right below the two div elements which were placed side- by-side.
When you use float:left property then the div's height and width are set by either of the following
amount of space it's content html elements require
applied css height and width.
hence say if your screen if too big and space is left out on the sides then the next element (if it can be fitted in that space) is rendered (if it requires more then it would appear on the next line).
hence now regarding your problem there are two possible solution's
Increase the widths of your div so that it takes most of the screen width.(mostly never used as it might look ugly on big screens)
but if u want to go by this approach the setting the width's in percent can do the job.
Fiddle demo
use the clear:both property of css (mostly used)
for it's explanation you have to read it's documentation
i would suggest you go by this approach

I have narrowed down the problem to the 6 blueish boxes (the top 3 are under a div called offers and the 3 below that are under a div called properties). If I was to take them out, the space goes but I would really like to keep them in so I need someone to help me troubleshoot it so that I can keep the boxes and have no space below the footer.
I think my problem lies with the fact they are positioned with relative (all divs are positioned relative - bad idea I now realize that).
I have tried:
aligning the 2 divs with absolute positioning - that does the trick of getting rid of the space at the bottom/right however if I was to scale down the browser, the boxes go out of position..
removing all positioning and floating them to the left/right - removes the space at the bottom/right but doesn't go into the position I would like them to ( I don't think you can position floats with top/bottom/left/right or margin? )
Here is how to sort out the 6 boxes that you currently have as position:relative;

The basic premise is that you float the boxes inside a container and then clearfix them to make the container the right size.
In terms of the issue at the bottom of the page you need to remove bottom:290px; from your footer. This appears to be what is causing the problem
I think main problem is body background image. You have used image of 1300px * 1000px size. i think you must use image of 1px width with repeat property.. And white space at bottom come due to bottom property of orders and properties div`
thanks.
I am trying to create a site layout using CSS. I have four (4) DIV elements. One is the main container that I have centered in the page and contains all the other DIV elements. Of the remaining three DIVs one is a page header, one is a left menu and the last holds content for the page. I would like to have the CONTENT DIV floated such that it is adjacent to the MENU DIV. However, I am finding that the width of the CONTENT DIV is not using the width I specified. I have created a sample running on JSFIDDLE which should make it easier to visualize.

What I am trying to figure out is why the CONTENT DIV doesn't take up 600 pixels as I have defined? Thank you.
You have to float your content also. Your content div is 600 from the left not counting the float and if you add more text it will run down under the menu: example.
If you float it, then it will do what you want, but you have to be careful about sizes or it will float down under your menu.
If you just give it a 200px margin and no width, I think that would work best as it would use the remaining space and stay 200px from the left edge. The float doesn't push it further, the margin is from the container div.
Im trying to make this layout (many of these are in a list):
An image (of varying height, but a set width) on the left. To the right is an <h2>, and below that, but still to the right of the image is a div with other content in it.
The div is used to provide a different colored background. Right now, the div for some reason extends behind the image, and the images has a varying distance between them, and sometimes one element will get pushed to the right by the height of the image above.

Add overflow: hidden to your outermost divs (div (display: block)) to contain the floats.
