Positioning text underneath and position:fixed image - html

I've got a Boostrap website with a navbar across the top and two columns divs in a row. The first column contains an image and should always stay fixed in position. The second column contains (potentially) a page or two of text and should scroll independently.
I've used position:fixed to hold the image in position, but my issue is that I would then like to add a link underneath it that links to the terms and conditions for the page.

Is this possible?
Many thanks.

There a couple ways of doing this. I won't go into code since you don't have anything to work off of so I hope you can understand my explanations.
You can try simply putting the link position: fixed as well and set the top property of the link element so that it'll be positioned below your image (you can play around with this).
Use a div that is set to position: fixed that will contain both the image and the link. Then you can just simple put the image inside the div without any positioning and the link should go underneath the image without any positioning either.
You can set the text on the right side to be overflow: scroll and set the width/height of the right text in the div so that it can scroll. This will essentially keep the document still but allows the user to scroll up and down the text content inside the right side div.
Number 1 is the quickest solution, number 2 IMO is the best solution. If you need some help with the code, post a Fiddle so we can see what you're working with.

Try this:
DEMO
<div style="position:fixed">
<img src="http://placehold.it/100x300" class="img-responsive">

</div>

How can I put text over a fixed image in html and make the text scrollable?

This may be a stupid question, but I am making a website and I want to have a page that has a fixed image that stays where it is when you scroll to see more text. One problem that I have encountered is that I can get the image to be fixed, but then I cannot make other text scrollable. The other problem is that I can get the text to be scrollable but the text goes under the fixed image. Is there any way that I can fix this. I have been using very simple html divs with classes from a style.css file.
As Geeky Quentin said, z-index is the solution to your problems. You mentioned that you are using classes in css, so in the class you should put z-index: index. The higher the index, the more things it goes over. If you want an image to stay where it is and not get anything put over or under it, you can just use different z-index indexes. If you separate the s then you should be able to make the text scrollable. I hope this answers your question.

HTML - Docked element

I have designed a simple website. The only thing left is to make a small box on the left. But I want to be always visible even when I scroll down. It's use will be something like a small ad. ![floating box][1]
Can you post an example or two? what css is needed for this? (if it's needed)
unfortunately I can't post any images because of I am a new user (I am not allowed to.. and this kinda frustrating)
But I will post an image as soon as possible.
You should apply position: fixed to this box.
Fixed Positioning
An element with fixed position is positioned relative to the browser
window.
It will not move even if the window is scrolled.
Here's a sample: http://www.w3schools.com/css/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_position_fixed
You can read more about CSS positioning here: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_positioning.asp
Here's a jsFiddle that I baked for your that shows how you can get this working: http://jsfiddle.net/leniel/8ub7s/2/
You can see that even when you scroll, the title is still visible and if you hover it, the ad box will show. Just adapt the CSS to your needs as you want it floated to the left. :)

creating gallery- thumbnails on left, main image on right- not aligned on top despite floats & clear:both

JSFiddle
I'm creating an image gallery that, ideally, should have a column of thumbnails on the left with a larger image on the right with both sections aligned along the top vertical axis.
To do this, I've floated the thumbnails and larger image left and right, respectively, and tried every combination of clear:both and overflow:hidden I could think of to achieve the top alignment to no avail. Any ideas?
I've included a JSFiddle at the top and an image below to give an idea of what I'm going for.
Put div.large-image before div.thumbnail in your HTML.
I'm not exactly sure why this happens. This article briefly discusses it. The answer/reason is probably buried somewhere in the CSS float spec.
I wrote a cool simple JSFiddle to show how the gallery should be displayed, and how you can align the images.
You have to be careful with using this JSFiddle in your code because some of the elements you used in your question's JSFiddle have pre-specified properties like display:inline-block or other things that might need to be overridden in CSS for the gallery elements. This is also for browser-compatibility.

Positioning divs on each other

I have so much trouble figuring out where my mistake are. I want to build website with some divs on the right to each other...later there should be a horizontal navigation which automatically scroll to the right via anchors.
Anyways...each div has an image in the background and a container with some text. The navigation menu is fixed and is always displayed.
My trouble: Why is the text container not showing up on the first div?
Please see my fiddle on http://jsfiddle.net/pvvFR/
Thank you in advance for reading and if so...for answering
Is this something like that a solution

I've put a position absolute on you slider
and i've put your container div out of the slider
EDIT :
Look at this: http://jsfiddle.net/pvvFR/13/
everything is relative
And i've given a height to your slider, and position your container to a negative top
If I did got you right, if you use img to set a background (which I think is not good at all), you should exclude it from the common layer (for example position:absolute), so the content could overlay it. Your problem is not in text, but in image.
try to have each container a unique class and replace with for example and put the image to div background like
background:url('http://www.wiesenhof-online.de/upload/Chicken-Ribs-BBQ-quer.jpg');
http://jsfiddle.net/pvvFR/10/
Well, answer to your question about the REASON behind this happening is that Z-INDEX only works with positioned elements and as you are not positioning your image element that's why 'some text' is buried behind the image and its z-index doesn't take effect.

Why does my sidebar move down to the bottom of the page rather than stay on the side?

I have a website with a blog and sidebar on the right hand side and it looks fine, however when I go onto page 2 of the blog, the sidebar moves down to the bottom of the page.
You can see what I mean by going to these links
http://www.beatinganger.com/blog (Sidebar looks normal)
http://www.beatinganger.com/blog?page=1 (Sidebar moves down to the bottom)
I have looked at the source code and I can see no changes in the difference between the 2 pages.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Your #left_container element on the sub-page is not being closed and therefore the #right_container element is being contained inside it.
The container div closing is causing a problem (as the other answers point out); also your div with the vertical_menu class is breaking out of its allotted size - which will probably cause float issues when your divs are closed:
Yeah, something is up with the template of the second URL, so that the sidebar is injected INSIDE the left 'main' column.
the #right_container http://www.beatinganger.com/blog?page=1 is in the different hierarchy than the enter link description here. #right_container and #left_container should be in the same parent and level as shown in the first link.
Another advise though, I notice that the content of the #right_container has slightly "wider" content than the container itself. Make sure the content elements are smaller or equal to the width of the parent container, or set #right_container -> overflow: hidden; a quick hackish way though.
