Im making a responsive site with dynamic content. I have a row of divs that will wrap at smaller screen widths. As some of the divs have more content and are taller than others, when a div wraps it doenst always go all the way to the left of the screen.

I need a solution that works for different screen widths and for when the content makes the divs different heights, in other works I cant just set clear left on the 4th div.
Change float:left on your div elements to display:inline-block; in laymans terms this will place them on the same line if there is space, or start a new line and place the overflowed element at the start of it if not.
By then placing the elements in a vertical-align:top environment, they will maintain their top alignment.

I positioned two div elements side-by-side by using float= left;
But buttons are getting displayed beside the div elements.
I want the button elements right below the two div elements which were placed side- by-side.
When you use float:left property then the div's height and width are set by either of the following
amount of space it's content html elements require
applied css height and width.
hence say if your screen if too big and space is left out on the sides then the next element (if it can be fitted in that space) is rendered (if it requires more then it would appear on the next line).
hence now regarding your problem there are two possible solution's
Increase the widths of your div so that it takes most of the screen width.(mostly never used as it might look ugly on big screens)
but if u want to go by this approach the setting the width's in percent can do the job.
Fiddle demo
use the clear:both property of css (mostly used)
for it's explanation you have to read it's documentation
i would suggest you go by this approach

I am trying to create a site layout using CSS. I have four (4) DIV elements. One is the main container that I have centered in the page and contains all the other DIV elements. Of the remaining three DIVs one is a page header, one is a left menu and the last holds content for the page. I would like to have the CONTENT DIV floated such that it is adjacent to the MENU DIV. However, I am finding that the width of the CONTENT DIV is not using the width I specified. I have created a sample running on JSFIDDLE which should make it easier to visualize.

What I am trying to figure out is why the CONTENT DIV doesn't take up 600 pixels as I have defined? Thank you.
You have to float your content also. Your content div is 600 from the left not counting the float and if you add more text it will run down under the menu: example.
If you float it, then it will do what you want, but you have to be careful about sizes or it will float down under your menu.
If you just give it a 200px margin and no width, I think that would work best as it would use the remaining space and stay 200px from the left edge. The float doesn't push it further, the margin is from the container div.

As you will see there is a side bar and a content area, sidebar is floating left, content floating right, and footer clears both.
Height on the sidebar and content are not set so the divs grow!
However, you can see that if one floating div is bigger than the other, the the background image appears.
I need to know how to make the background colour of both divs always be the same, and grow together in peace and harmony
Thanks
display: table-cell on both divs (and removing the floats) can work easily here, though lower IEs won't like it.
Or, you could always use the infamous Faux Columns
What you are asking is for the two divs to be the same height even though their content height is different. This cannot be done without relying on tables or javascript.
What you can do to achieve the same effect, is have a container div (I can see you already have it) and give this a vertically repeating background image of the sidebar and content color. This is known as Faux Columns.
Make sure to clear within the container (move <div class="clear"></div> up one level) so the container gets the height of whichever div is bigger.
I have a bunch of thumbnails that I wish to display in my page. The widths of the thumbnails are not necessarily all the same, and neither are the heights. What I'd like to do is arrange them in a tabular format such that elements line up in neat rows and columns with each "cell" being an equal, specified width.
I do not want to use a table as I would like the number of rows/columns to automatically re-size with a browser re-size.
I've tried sticking the images in:
divs of fixed-width with float left. The problem is because of unequal heights, wrapped divs might "catch" on the bottom of a div on the row above.
spans and lis: setting width: 200px or whatever doesn't seem to fix the width; however they do wrap fine.
If you use display: inline-block on your spans or lis, that should allow you to set the width.

You could use lis and make them display:inline-block;

Drag the window over to see it work.
borders, width, and height added to show effect
you can still use you divs that float left and add this script: http://masonry.desandro.com/
It will push the divs up vertically so that they are beside each other.
Here is my site, first of all.
You'll notice that underneath the divider bar in the middle of the page, there are three columns, one with a form, one with text, one with links.
Now, resize the window to slightly smaller, and the right div will drop down to the next line.
Is there anyway to just not display that? So, the divs will adjust (I have a liquid layout) up to the point where they won't fit, then, instead of wrapping the div down to the next line, it just won't be displayed?
You can also achieve that with CSS only.
Just assign the following CSS attributes to #row4:
#row4 {
min-width:1202px; /* the exact value depends on the sum of the width of your 3 column boxes */
overflow:hidden;
}
This differs slightly from your intended solution, since the right box will stay partly visible when sizing down the window and will not immediately disappear completely.
Please be aware that min-width won't work in IE6. However, there are several ways to emulate the min-width property, if you need to support old IEs:

You can give them a wrapper div with a min-width set and force it to use a horizontal scrollbar if it gets too small. The nice thing about a wrapper div is you can give it a max-width as well and keep things from getting wonky on super huge monitors.
I'm not a fan of horizontal scrollbars, but it beats completely removing content.
Ok here is what you should do
Wrap all three floated division on a parent div, something like this
<div id="parent">
<div class="form">......</div>
<div class="text">......</div>
<div class="links">.....</div>
</div>
Now to solve your problem give a fixed height to the parent div like
#parent { height:400px;clear:both; }
You would have to use Javascript to get the width of the viewport, then change the display property of the div that is wrapping to display:none so that it doesn't show up when the browser width is too small.
