Why doesn't my link to my pdf work? - html

I correctly linked my pdf to my project and spelled everything right but when I hover over it and click it, nothing happens. Im not sure if its something to do with the positioning of everything?

It's the z-index -1 on #hero - it's basically making it under the body. Change that to 0 or remove it and you should be good.

Better options than mixed blend mode?

I have a home page that has two background colours. What I would like for the navbar li's is that when the screen resizes, and the nav bar text enters the part of the screen where the background is blue, I'd like it to change to grey (the same colour as the other part of the screen)...
Now, I know mixed-blend-mode is a thing, but I don't like how it inverts the colour... Is there a way to specify the colour of mixed-blend-mode? Or are there any other alternatives?

Since you gradient is covering the whole page width, you can then color your text with the opposite gradient and you make it fixed to simulate the changing color effect:

Space between navigation bar and drop-down bar

I'm fairly new to html, and when I tried to create a webpage, I encountered a problem. I managed to make a navigation bar with a drop down menu directly under the "Games" section, but if I scroll down and open the drop down menu, it no longer opens directly under the navigation bar. This is my HTML code.
<div class="wrapper">
<div id="main-title">
<header>
<h1>Max Reviews</h1>
</header>
</div> <!-- Title box-->
<div id="nav"> <!-- Navigation Bar -->
<nav>
<ul>
<li><a class="active" href="#">Home</a></li>
<li>About Me</li> <!-- Link to about page -->
<li class="drop">
<p>Games</p>
<div class="drop-content">
<p>Red Faction: Guerrilla</p> <!-- Contains links to the respective pages -->
<p>Way of the Samurai 3</p>
<p>Singularity</p>
</div>
</li>
<li>Reviews</li>
<li>External Store</li> <!-- Link to external site -->
<li>Videos</li> <!-- Contains links to Youtube -->
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
<div class="image"> <!-- Banner-->
<a href="singularity.html">
<img src="modified singularity aging 1.jpg" alt="singularity">
<h2><span>Recommended Game of the Month</span></h2>
</a>
</div>
<div id="home-content"><p>Learn more about the site &#9755here&#9754</p></div>

Please help me as I've been trying to solve this problem for 2 days. Also, this is my first time posting a question here, so forgive me if I indented my code wrongly, or if I inadvertently violated some of the rules of Stack Overflow.
The reason for this behaviour is that your drop-content has position:fixed on hover.
From MDN:
…an element that is absolutely positioned is taken out of the flow; thus, other elements are positioned as if it did not exist. The absolutely positioned element is positioned relative to its nearest positioned ancestor… Fixed positioning is similar to absolute positioning, with the exception that the element's containing block is the viewport.
Working example on JSFiddle and here is what I've changed:
#nav ul {
/*overflow: hidden;*/
}
.drop:hover .drop-content {
/*position: fixed;
top: 155px;*/
position: absolute;
}

HTML & CSS - Centering text in header inbetween logo and button

How would i be able to align my navigation links to the header?
This is what i currently have:
But, I'd really like to have the links vertically aligned within the header, like this:
How would i do this?
Below is my CSS & HTML.
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
}
.wrapper {
width: 1100px;
max-width: 90%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#top_header {
position: fixed;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
right: 0px;
background-color: #26ABF5;
height: 70px;
vertical-align: middle;
}

Use line-height for vertical-align. Im add the line in #main_nav.
Edit: add float: left; for your logo image.

How can I correct the positioning of my footer element?

I want to sharpen my HTML & CSS skills by recreating the Bootstrap homepage in pure HTML & CSS. I am almost finished, but I seem to be having trouble with my footer. Everything else is positioned the way I would like it, but everything on the footer shoots up to the top and middle of my page. Can anyone tell me what I am missing here?

From what I can tell I believe its because of two main reasons.
You have set fixed heights for elements with content that is height than the fixed height.
.mid-section {
height: 500px;
background-color: #fff;
margin: 0;
}
.photo-section {
height:500px;
}
The footer has position: absolute but isn't contained by a parent with position: relative. If you would like the footer to stick to the bottom use position: fixed instead.
footer {
text-align: center;
bottom: 0;
height: 100px;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
}

Why won't the z-index on my elements work?

I have my code set up so I have the hero image at the bottom and the overlay on top with the text and button in overlay. I also have the navigation bar with a z-index but for some reason the button for my resume in overlay isn't working.

Because z-index works only on elements which are NOT set asposition: static. Bear in mind that every element is set as default to position:static.
Try set to position:absolute; or relative your element.
Also all other types of positioning, like position:fixed, position:sticky.
So I've taken a look at your code and the reason your button doesn’t work is because the div with the ID of #hero (which contains the button) is below the body because it has a z-index of -1.
Set the z-index for #hero to 0 or higher and the button will work.
#hero {
padding-top: 25em;
width: 100%;
height: 30em;
position: relative;
z-index: 0;
}
Check out this JS Fiddle I've created for you:
https://jsfiddle.net/8fqwr6ca/
Edit: Oh, and I forgot to mention–since you want the image to be below, set the #hero 's z-index to 1, set #heroImage to 0, and overlay to 2. That should do the trick (if what I think you want is correct).
