I have tried absolute to my footer to stay on the bottom of the page but it covers up the elements that are already at the bottom instead of going underneath them. Fixed does the similar thing except if the page is longer it will cover up elements in the center of the page. I literally just want the backgound color of my div to extend to the bottom of the page and have my logo and text stay in between the div at a set height. Here's what I've got.

You need to set the footer position to relative to have it respect other elements on the page. Both absolute and fixed remove the element from the page flow, which causes overlapping.
Demo
Change position:relative to fixed in the demo CSS and then uncomment bottom to see the difference. You can also play with height on the body tag to see how behavior changes.
<div id="content">
<p>Content</p>
</div>
<div id="footer">
<p>Footer stuff</p>
</div>
body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#content {
height:1200px;
width:100px;
background-color:#eee;
position:relative;
margin:0;
padding:0;
border:1px solid black;
}
#footer {
width:100px;
position:relative;
/* bottom:0; */
background-color:#eee;
margin:0;
padding:0;
border:1px solid black;
}

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.

I want to add them to the same line so the header looks more tidy, what would be the correct code to use?
.header{
border-bottom:1px solid #eee;
padding:10px 0px;
width:100%;
text-align:left;
}
.header a{
color:#333;
text-decoration: none;
margin-left: 20px;
}
.phone {
text-align: right;
font-weight: bold;
padding-right: 20px;
align-content: right;
}
<div class="header">
Home
Products
<div class="phone"><a>Freephone: 0800 096 1617</a></div>
</div>
You can achieve that with float. Left for the the ones you want to go left, right for the phone number, and a overflow: hidden for the header.
.header{
border-bottom:1px solid #eee;
padding:10px 0px;
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
}
.header a{
color:#333;
text-decoration: none;
margin-left: 20px;
float: left;
}
.phone {
font-weight: bold;
margin-right: 20px;
float: right;
}
<div class="header">
Home
Products
<div class="phone"><a>Freephone: 0800 096 1617</a></div>
</div>
you should insert the Freephone: 0800 096 1617 to div class header and use Css position:absolute; right:(you can manipulate it to fix the freephone);
<div class="header">
Home
Products
<a class="freephone">Freephone: 0800 096 1617</a>
<div class="phone"></div>
</div>
.header{
border-bottom:1px solid #eee;
padding:10px 0px;
width:100%;
float:left;
}
.header a{
color:#333;
text-decoration: none;
margin-left: 20px;
}
.phone {
font-weight: bold;
padding-right: 20px;
float:right;
}
<div class="header">
Home
Products
<div class="phone"><a>Freephone: 0800 096 1617</a></div>
</div>
You have to add float:left; to .header class and add float:right; to .phone class
Use floating instead. The .clear class means to stop floating and it is neccessary. Also the phone does not need to be inside of a div and should have the id of phone instead of class of phone because there is only one phone element. You do not need the alignment and text-alignments at all.
.header {
border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;
padding: 10px 0px;
width: 100%;
}
.header a {
color: #333;
text-decoration: none;
margin-left: 20px;
float: left;
}
#phone {
font-weight: bold;
padding-right: 20px;
float: right !important;
}
.clear {
clear: both;
}
<div class="header">
Home

<a id="phone">Freephone: 0800 096 1617</a>
<div class="clear"></div>

Hope this works as it wasn't tested because I am on mobile right now.
I want to have a navigation bar with a logo inside it but as I add the logo the line doesn't look fine!
The problem is when I add the pic its like the picture and the text doesnt stay in the same line! not that the line breaks but the text slides down a little while it shouldn't.

For starters we need to sort out your html.
Then look at your css your <a> if you're using padding etc you need to make it a block level element.
remove the height 50px from your nav that's not something you want to be giving height to. Instead use your padding of <a> to get the desired height it helps with responsive.
But because we want it to sit beside your image use inline-block
also do not use CSS to define an tag's height and width you should use the tags attributes so that rendering happens smoothly.
Also you need to use alt on images.
your image also needs the following css rule's:
img#gnb_logo {
vertical-align:middle;
margin:0 10px;
}
So that it sits the way you want it beside your link.
Also if that is your site's logo it should not be inside <nav>
If it's an icon relative to the link then instead of using <img> use background-image
body {
background-color: #C8F1BA;
margin: 0px;
}
ul,
li {
list-style: none;
}
div#gnb_bg {
margin: 0px;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
border-right: 10px solid black;
}
a.gnb {
background-color: #99FF33;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 26px;
border-right: 1px solid #448811;
padding-right: 2.5%;
padding-left: 2.5%;
padding-top: 14px;
padding-bottom: 14px;
margin: 0px;
display: inline-block;
}
img#gnb_logo {
vertical-align:middle;
margin:0 10px;
}
nav#gnb {
text-align: center;
background-color: #99FF33;
}
<header>
<nav id="gnb" role="navigation" aria-label="Global Navigation">
<ul id="gnb_bg">
<li>
<a class="gnb" href="../feedbacks/feedbacks.html">feedbacks</a>
<img id="gnb_logo" src="../images/logo.gif" height="30" alt="GNB Logo" />
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</header>
If you add vertical-align: middle to both the a.gnb and img#gnb_logo, that will probably fix your problem.
Pay attention to the top/bottom padding on your link so that it does overflow the 50px height that you assigned to the parent container.
body {
background-color: #C8F1BA;
margin: 0px;
}
div#gnb_bg {
margin: 0px;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
border-right: 10px solid black;
}
a.gnb {
background-color: #99FF33;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 26px;
border-right: 1px solid #448811;
padding-right: 2.5%;
padding-left: 2.5%;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
margin: 0px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
img#gnb_logo {
height: 30px;
margin: 10px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
nav#gnb {
text-align: center;
background-color: #99FF33;
height: 50px;
}
<nav id="gnb" role="navigation" aria-label="Global Navigation">
<div id="gnb_bg">
<a class="gnb" href="../feedbacks/feedbacks.html">feedbacks</a>
<img id="gnb_logo" src="http://placehold.it/100x50" />
</div>
</nav>
First your a.gnb class should have a display-block if you want to render padding on an inline tag like a "a" tag. And your line-height must be of 22px if you want to make it fit in a 50px height container (14px + 14px padding top and bottom + 22px line-height equal 50px)
Second, to make your image alignment just add vertical-align: middle to the img#gnb_logo rule:
body {
background-color: #C8F1BA;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
div#gnb_bg{
margin:0px;
padding-top:0px;
padding-bottom:0px;
border-right:10px solid black;
}
a.gnb{
background-color: #99FF33;
text-decoration: none;
font-size:26px;
border-right:1px solid #448811;
padding-right:2.5%;
padding-left:2.5%;
padding-top:14px;
padding-bottom:14px;
margin:0px;
line-height: 22px;
display: inline-block;
}
img#gnb_logo{
height:30px;
margin:10px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
nav#gnb{
text-align:center;
background-color: #99FF33;
height: 50px;
}
You need to remove the margin.
img#gnb_logo{
height:30px;
margin:0px;
}

What i have looks splendid in firefox, but for some reason all of the text won't seem to stay contained within their respective div's in Chrome. Chrome seems to be assigning random height values to the ul and h1 elements, but for the life of me I can't seem to figure out why. EDIT: Okay, I am going crazy with rage. I mean it even works in explorer............ What is Chrome's (read "my") issue!?!?!?!?!?!
I deleted the screen shot, since i've made some changes. I've simply just uploaded it to the site musingsofamachiavellian.com you should be able to see the issue in all its glory there.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, the fix was as easy as adding html { height:100%;}
This is quite literally the first code i've ever written from scratch, so be gentle :|

I did alot of tuning up. Take a look here http://codepen.io/anon/pen/Ezham
Noticeable I used %'s instead of pixels and added correct positioning.
I see two things:
1. The Cambria math font is causing problems.
2. You should add this css: html { height: 100% }
I believe this is because the div Foundation needs to match its css. Foundation and foundation. One is capitalized and one is not.
I have been recently designing some content which needs to be side by side and have the height automatically resize, but the height doesn't resize. The div doesn't expand to the size of the items inside of it. Is there a way to allow the div to expand to the size of the elements inside of it?

Looks like the problem is that the #footer element isn't properly cleared. Add clear: both; to #footer. This pushes the cleared element below the floated elements, and should functionally result in the same visual fix.
The "container div" basically "forgets" that it is the container for them, so simply add an overflow:auto; to make it remember.
I also tend to add zoom:1 for IE.
The problem is that you are floating elements, and that causes problems with wrapping divs per default (pretty much...).
Here is a working solution, where overflow:hidden is added to the wrapping div: http://jsfiddle.net/s2dxw/2/
The float issue is pretty confusing, and has had a couple of solutions in the past. Here's a good read regarding floats in HTML: http://css-tricks.com/all-about-floats/
Alternatively, you can put some element with the rule clear: both; inside and at the end of the wrapping div.
