I just have a quick question about my website. I have a huge whitespace between my footer and the end of my background image, about 500 or so pixels. I can't seem to find the problem and any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jacob

When you use position: relative; the browser thinks, "Ok, I'm going to keep the element's technical location the same, but I'm going to make it appear to be in a different spot." You have the following CSS on your .des element:
.des {
position: relative;
bottom: 1564px;
}
This says, "Keep .des there, but make it appear 1564 pixels higher (further away from the original bottom)". This results in a blank space, which is the height of the element, showing up where the element technically still is, even though it appears elsewhere.
You also have the following CSS on your #footer element:
#footer {
position: relative;
bottom: -100px;
}
This makes it appear 100px lower on the page, but keeps the original spot there, and now blank.
Unless I'm mistaken, these two gaps combine for a whopping 1038px of blank space on your page. The solution? You're probably looking for position: absolute;, which doesn't keep the original spot for the element. In fact, I think that if you changed the positioning part of the CSS on .des to be
.des {
position: absolute;
top: 260px;
}
or something close to that, it would get rid of most of the gap, minus the 100px on #footer. Here's a JSFiddle, if you'd care to have a look.
The height of your background image in your CSS is set to height: 1700px; but the background image that you link to is only 1200px high. That would seem to account for the 500px difference

So I've been testing how my website looks with different screen sizes and I noticed my footer is positioned correctly at the bottom right of the screen for resolutions 800x600 to 1920x1080 BUT on 2560x1600 it does NOT position at the bottom right

Is this an error in my code or this a bug in CrossBrowserTesting?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
If you replace your :
#footer {
padding-left: 93%;
}
with
#footer {
float: right;
margin-right: 10px;
}
You will fix your div on the right and that regardless if the screen is large, medium or small.
your #wrapper streches and its css is - max-width: 100%;and your #footer is inside the #wrapper
soo maybe your content doesnt stretch the wrapper to full width and thats why the #footer isnt in the far right of screen(because its in far right of #wrapper)try to take #footer out of #wrapper OR make #wrapper width:100% and body and html width:100%
I'm wondering why the elements in my nav bar appear to have blank space above them? I've checked the margin and padding and there doesn't seem to be an issue, but there is a large space above my #logo and #searchbox which is messing up my layout, how can I get rid of the space above the elements?
Thanks a lot!

Your <nav> element has a padding of 10px.
EDIT: The absolutely positioned search form seems to be causing the problem. I made the following changes and the space went away:
#searchbox_div {
position: relative;
display: block;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
}
#searchbox {
position: relative;
float: right;
}
#logo {
display: inline-block;
width: 200px;
font-family: arial;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
font-size: 26px;
float: left;
}
#main_nav{
display: inline-block;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
margin-top: 4em;
margin-left: 1em;
}
I noticed that you`re not using a css reset. A CSS Reset (or “Reset CSS”) is a short, often compressed (minified) set of CSS rules that resets the styling of all HTML elements to a consistent baseline.
In case you didn’t know, every browser has its own default ‘user agent’ stylesheet, that it uses to make unstyled websites appear more legible. For example, most browsers by default make links blue and visited links purple, give tables a certain amount of border and padding, apply variable font-sizes to H1, H2, H3 etc. and a certain amount of padding to almost everything. Ever wondered why Submit buttons look different in every browser?
Obviously this creates a certain amount of headaches for CSS authors, who can’t work out how to make their websites look the same in every browser.
Using a CSS Reset, CSS authors can force every browser to have all its styles reset to null, thus avoiding cross-browser differences as much as possible.
Also, sometimes if I have a problem with blank spaces, I run the html all together so there are no blank spaces between the tags. To make it look neat, I insert carriage returns in the middle of the html tag.
By default, most browsers have an 8px or so margin that is built in or "Added" to the page style. The super easy way to eliminate this is through CSS. Simply use:
html,body{
margin:0;
}
You can also add:
padding:0;
If it's still giving you problems!
You appear to need to reset/normalize your css as that
html,body{
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
The <nav> element is configured to have 10 pixels of padding on all sides.

I'm currently building a website and and I can't find a CSS positioning method that works, meaning any CSS positioning element that doesn't make other HTML elements behave weirdly. Is there any CSS positioning methods that would position an HTML element precisely, accurately and not cause (many) issues with other elements? So far float and position: absolute; don't work well. Thanks!
Since apparently what I'm asking is unclear, I'm asking "What kind of positioning can I use that doesn't have any (or few) side effects?"

Each positioning method has a purpose and well-defined, if sometimes not intuitive, behavior. You cannot pick one that "won't mess things up". There's no shortcut like "always use relative", because each method accomplishes something different that cannot be accomplished by the other methods.
I happen to think positioning in CSS is abysmally defined, but it's what we have to work with and the only thing you can do is learn what each one does and how they interact. There WILL be some things you cannot accomplish1, and until CSS layout matures that will continue to be the case.
The only advice I can give you is to budget some time, say 8-16 hours over the next few weeks, to play with basic layouts and experiment with all the positioning methods. Use Firefox or Chrome's developer tools to examine in detail how things are laid out, and make specific changes one at a time until you start to develop a feel for how the options interact with each other. This is a highly complex mess and it will take some time to learn it. But once you do you will have a skillset that will serve you well.
1 As I recently learned to my great disappointment. I did find some workarounds gross hacks that involved duplicating content but that way lies madness. I hope the new flex positioning stuff gets worked out with some sanity but I'm not holding my breath.
Remove this from your HTML :
<div id="searchbox_div">
</div>
but obviously keep the form inside it, it dosent need to be contained in a div since its already inside the nav element.
Here is working Fiddle
I was just wondering how I can better optimize my website (its just a project, not real) for Snap mode in Windows. Whenever I go into that mode, it screws up the entire webpage (see attached photo).
Thanks Jacob

Are you referring to resizing the site via snapping (taking up 50%) of the screen width? If you want your site to work whatever the the screen width you need to use fluid containers and media queries, which make up the concept of responsive web design.
From the looks of things your site uses fixed widths which limit the ability for the content to re-size fluidly with the browser when you snap.
Responsive webdesign needs to be integrated form the get go, it can be annoying to update an existing site (but still possible). I'd recommend taking a look at this tutorial/overview: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_responsive.asp
In short to fix your site you will need to get rid of the fixed widths you have set in pixels and uses percentages as they will adapt depending on the available width.
I am having trouble with my footer menu links and social icon buttons. I created the footer so that it will stretch across the entire browser window. However now when I lay the menu links and social media icons inside the div they are moving whenever the page is re-sized. What do I need to do in order to make the placement of the menu links and social media links stay in the proper place?

As I was writing on the comments section, this is not a single thing issue. This is a problem with many things being done incorrectly. But mainly:
The structure of the page is poorly designed. I understand that this page is more of testing, but creating a web site is not directly getting into coding but analyzing and designing a solution. Coding may be the "fun part", but it's not the most important.
The positioning of the elements is incorrect. As a personal recommendation: avoid using position:absolute for controls. In your page, the logo is a good example of position absolute (although it could be done in other ways), all the rest absolute positioning shouldn't be there and breaks the page.
Here you have a link to a version the solves the position problems that you commented about: http://muzaw.com/test.html. Test it, and let me know if that's what you were aiming for (I know not everything will fit perfectly but that's just a matter of changing some values in the CSS).
The changes that I made:
Removed the position absolute for the header and footer (or changed to position:relative)
Restructured the page to fit a "more convenient" web page design.
Changed the CSS of some of the elements.
I understand you are learning, that I sound patronizing, and that my comments and answer may frustrate you; but if you start learning bad things from the beginning, it will be worse later.
I've found a way to do what you want, but the header and the footer will be the same width as your mainContainer.
Just change your CSS to :
#footer-home
{
position: absolute;
bottom: 0; /* Put it back to 0 */
left: 0;
min-width: 100%;
height: 200px;
background-image: url(img/footerimg.png);
}
#maincontainer
{
width: 1024px;
margin: 0 auto;
/* Add the code below */
left: 0;
right: 0;
position: absolute;
}
That way, the footer will always stay at the bottom.
