I'm just getting started on HTML5 and CSS3 (working through The Odin Project) and the first project is to duplicate the Google homepage. I was able to get everything set up, but it seems like my CSS is somehow preventing my header links from acting like links. You can't click on them and the hover effects don't work.
They work fine on my footer and my nav text-decoration is applied, so I'm not sure what's making it act like it's not a link. I've only tested it in Chrome, so I'm not even worried about compatability issues yet. Am I doing the HTML5 wrong? Or is it some kind of weird rule like you can't use hover effects with inline-block or something? I'm not familiar enough with it yet to have learned all those nuances yet...
Here's the HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">

<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Oh, and I haven't even started on JavaScript yet, so I'd like to avoid JavaScript if possible!
Here is a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Lvfmwhvu/
The problem is your container element, if you remove the position relative it will work, but not sure if it will be maintained in the same position, but you can check it and modify your css accordingly:
.container{
vertical-align: middle;
}
Hope this helps.
Your main container isn't clearing the floated navbar. Because it falls later in your document, it has a higher layer index and covers the navbar. Try this:
.container {
...
clear: both;
}

So far, I have managed to get my footer to always stick to the bottom, however, I have been struggling to get the content or images on my webpage to push the footer down. I have been trying absolute, fixed, relative positions for the footer but to no avail as the content in the class "container2" continues to go under the footer. It also shouldn't be sticky footer similar to the nav bar but like a natural footer where it is pushed down by content.

First off, I am a bit confused why you are using the <br> tag so much, but it almost looks like you are trying to space the elements with them. You may want to use padding or margin to do that.
Lastly, I think what you are looking for is position: fixed. Try this:
footer {
width:100%;
position: fixed; /* use fixed instead of absolute */
bottom: 0; /* set bottom to 0 */
height:300px;
font-size: 15px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
text-align:center;
background-color:black;
border-width: 10px;
color: white;
}
You have several problems in your css. The main problem for your content not to appear is that you're using overflow: hidden; in container2 and height: 1000px; this causes everything that exceeds 1000px won't be show. Try removing overflow: hidden or overflow: x-scroll.
This is the documentation for the overflow property, I suggest you read it for a better understanding of your problem. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/overflow
There are some things that you should change 1. you are using absolute position outside relative 2. using absolute values for hight is not good practice 3. is always better use padding and margin to make space ect. Keep fixed position only for header nav and comment out all fixed hight values(px)and absolute and relative positioning to start with. Absolute position should be inside relative if there is not special reason not to do that. To get out from main problem start with footer and container2. But there is lot more to fix.
You need set a min-height for html, body {min-height: 100vh;}
Set footer as position: fixed; bottom: 0; left: 0;
Hopefully this will help you.
html/css newbie here.
I have done some courses on html/css and now I'm testing my knowledge by attempting to copy some websites I like. Right now I'm trying my best to make Khan Academy's front page (https://www.khanacademy.org), but I've been struggling with something.
I have an <ul> that represents the top navigation bar of the page, and now I'm trying to center their logo (<div id="ka"> that is inside the navbar as a list item) to the page but using text-align: center and margin-left: auto; & margin-right: auto doesn't seem to do anything.
Here's my code:

I have seem this question but what was suggested didn't work for me.
My question is: how do I center the logo div?
A side note: since I'm fairly new to html there could be a lot of bad practices in the code above. Tips on how to do the things I did more efficiently would be highly appreciated.
here a solution for your problem.
In CSS, flex is very usefull, take a look at:
Flex guide https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/
My CSS
I have used flexbox for centered verically divs and set the right div.
For the logo, I used a first div with the height and width of the taskbar (non-clickable) and a second with the logo centered (clickable) with position absolute.

newbie to HTML & CSS here with only 2 weeks learning under my belt. I'm trying to replicate the Google web page and although I have managed to center the "Google" logo and the searchbar underneath it, i've done it using margin-top and margin-left properties. I did try margin: 0 auto; with some other properties but could not get anything to work. The times when I did manage to center the logo using different properties, it wasn't fully central on the page. Basically what i'm saying is that the way i've done it works, but I know it isn't the most efficient way of making these two elements central on the page and it certainly doesn't represent a responsive webpage.
Would anyone mind having a look at the code i've pasted below and offer advice on the best way to go about this? I've included the whole HTML and CSS code, incase anyone wishes to load the site in Notepad etc. Many thanks in advance!
<!DOCTYPE html>

To center an image you can use text-align:center; on the parent element. For the searchbar you can use margin:0 auto; as long as the search bar has a defined width:
* {
box-sizing: border-box;

For the searchbar you should be using an input rather than a p(paragraph). Another tip is that instead of defining margin-top, margin-right, margin-bottom, margin-left, you can use the shorthand margin. The first value is the top margin, next is right margin, then bottom, then left.
If you want the top/bottom and right/left margins to be the same, respectively, you can define 2 values(first being top and bottom and second being right and left). If you want to define a different top and bottom margin but use the same margin for left/right you can define 3 values(first being top, second being right/left and third being bottom).
For example:
margin-top:20px;
margin-right:50px;
margin-bottom:20px;
margin-left:50px;
can be written as
margin:20px 50px;
Or the following:
margin-top:50px;
margin-right:100px;
margin-bottom:20px;
margin-left:100px;
can be written as:
margin:50px 100px 20px;
Same thing goes for padding.
you can't use pixels to set margin!
you have to set margin of the main class to 50% of page height and width like this:
(to resolve problems change percent of size and margin to fit 100%)

Here is what it looks like:
If I remove the image, the text centers perfectly:
#A.B
I mean, it worked... Sort of.
I am having some problems with the image pushing the title to the right, as you can see, it's not exactly centred.

I suspect there is something we're not seeing as your existing code seems to be fine although I have removed the center tag which has been deprecated and substituted text-align:center.
If it still doesn't center in your FULL HTML, then we need to examine the remainder of the code.
header {
float: left;
clear: both;
width: 96%;
color: #fff;
background-color: #660066;
padding: 1%;
margin-left: 1%;
}
header img {
float: left;
width: 12%;
height: 12%;
background: #660066;
}
header h1 {
text-align: center;
}
<header>
<img src="http://placekitten.com/g/200/300" alt= "logo"/>
<h1>Mobile Cat Grooming Service</h1>
</header>
try this
header {
float: left;
clear: both;
width: 96%;
color: #fff;
background-color: #660066;
padding: 1%;
margin-left: 1%;
position:relative;
}
header img {
width: 12%;
height: 12%;
background: #660066;
position:absolute;
left:0;
top:0;
}
There are a few different ways to do this, you could use position:absolute; in your image or a more extendable way would be something like this:
<header>
<img src="Images/catlogo.jpg" alt= "logo"/>
<h1 class="centerTitle">Mobile Cat Grooming Service</h1>
</header>
css:
centerTitle {
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
margin-left: -12%;
}
I'm not sure how you want your image aligned compared to the page and/or the header but the reason the image is pushing your h1 over is because it is being floated and therefore taken out of the normal document flow. The h1 lines itself up as if the floated image wasn't there. The reason the h1 is shift over is that the space it takes up is still respected even though it is taken out of the normal document flow.
I can make further suggestions once I know the desired layout.
EDIT 1
I would probably use absolute positioning to solve this.
<header>
<img src="http://lorempixel.com/150/200/city">
<h1>Your Title Here</h1>
</header>
header {
text-align: center;
position: relative;
}
header img {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
z-index: 1; /* use this if you're having stacking issues */
}
Here is a jsFiddle demonstrating the above code: http://jsfiddle.net/3h5zdzbr/1/
I am EXTREMELY new to CSS and HTML (beginners course at uni) so I'm not sure if this is a super basic issue or not.
I'm using CODA 2 on a mac.
I have 5 HTML pages and a separate stylesheet.css.
In Coda preview the CSS works on the HTML pages. If I manually save the .css the HTML pages don't display any CSS. If I slightly edit anything on the .CSS the HTML pages refresh in preview and display the CSS again.
If I open my HTML pages in the browser (chrome/firefox) they are displayed without any css.
The correct links to the .CSS page are on all my HTML pages (under the title).
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="reset.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ms.css" />
Any help would be MUCH appreciated as time is ticking away and I am completely lost.
Cheers

All the files are located within the same folder.

You have to close your opening div tags, from this
<div id="corn"
to this
<div id="corn">
Same with <div id="yelp"and <div id="wrap"
Also in your css you forgot to put colons in some parts, like
.lcol img {
width 200px;
}
instead of
.lcol img {
width: 200px;
}
In new projects, it's better to start with as little code as you can in both the HTML and CSS files (and js files too) just to see that all files are linked together.
Edit:
a:visited {color:white
In the CSS file, can you please remove the first line or at least remove the accent before #charset "utf-8";
`#charset "utf-8";
