I've never seen anything stupid like that, or may be it's 2:30 am and I am hallucinating. I've made simple anchor links within the header and I am completely unable to click on them. They are just plain text and are completely non-clickable.
I'll be thankful if you can give me a hint as what/where I am not obeying the HTML/CSS daemon.

EDIT
Thanks to Nikhil, the had a Z-index:1 which when removed fixed the bug.
Thanks.
Unless you left something out. it is working for me with and without css.
Tested in IE 8
How did you include the CSS btw?
The <div id="contend"> right next to tag had a z-index:1. This made every link in <header> tag non-clickable.
The solution was to remove the z-index property.
Hope it helps someone.

I am fairly new to web development and stackoverflow. So I am sorry for any inconveniences. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
Set margin: 0px; on h3 tag to resolve this issue. Check updated Snippet below..

Just remove the margin from h3 like
.welcome h3 {
text-align: center;
margin:0;
}
body {
margin: 0;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-weight: 400;
background-image: url("../images/rooms.jpg");
}
.container {
width: 80%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
header {
background: #343434;
}
header::after {
content: '';
display: table;
clear: both;
}
.logo {
float: left;
padding: 10px;
}
nav {
float: right;
}
nav ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;

nav li {
padding: 0;
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 60px;

This is due to collapsing margins
Remove the margin on the h3. Replace it with padding if you want to create space between the header and maintain the background colour.
body {
margin: 0;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-weight: 400;
background-image: url("../images/rooms.jpg");
}
.container {
width: 80%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
header {
background: #343434;
}
header::after {
content: '';
display: table;
clear: both;
}
.logo {
float: left;
padding: 10px;
}
nav {
float: right;
}
nav ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
}
nav li {
padding: 0;
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 60px;
padding-top: 19px;
position: relative;
}
nav a {
text-decoration: none;
color: white;
font-size: 13px;
text-transform: uppercase;
padding: 1em 0.5em;
}
nav a:hover {
color: yellow;
}
.welcome {
width: 100%;
height: 250px;
background: #406295;
}
.welcome h3 {
text-align: center;
margin-top: 0;
}
<header>
<div class="container">
<img src="images/logo.png" alt="">
<nav>
<ul>
<li>Room Types</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li>About Us</li>
</ul>

<div class="welcome">
<h3>Welcome to</h3>
</div>
You can try adding style="display: inline; margin:0px; padding:0px;" to your <h3> Tag.
Another way is to apply a rule of overflow: auto to the .welcome div... thus creating a new block formatting context and avoiding the collapsing margins.
Edit: Let's add a little more context. In the spec, you can read that adjoining margins will collapse under certain circumstances. In particular, the margins need to belong to block-level boxes participating in the same block formatting context.
Even though .welcome and h3 are block-level boxes in your example, neither automatically establishes a new block formatting context (meaning they participate in the same block formatting context, meaning their margins collapse). Looking at the spec again, we see that some of the ways to establish a new block formatting context is to have a float, an absolutely positioned element, or a block box with the property of overflow set to something else than visible.
That's why the suggestions regarding overflow: auto or floating one of the elements work. My understanding is that if we make .welcome establish a new block formatting context, the context it participates in is different from the one it establishes itself. Removing the margin (possibly replacing it with padding) is another way to get around the problem.
Either apply margin-top:0 for H3-Tag
or
apply a float:left for .welcome
Both will fix your issue
Well I have a navigation with a fixed position with a list inside, which I want to change color on a hover. But this doesn't work because of the fixed position of the navigation. Is there a way to get around this?
Here is my example
.nav {
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
height: 80px;
background-color: #ffffff;
box-shadow: 0px -2px 5px 1px;
}
.nav-inner {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
max-width: 1500px;
height: 80px;
margin-left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%);
}
.nav-right {
float: right;
height: 100%;
}
.nav-menu {
position: relative;
top: 50%;
margin: -30px 130px 0px 0px;
height: 60px;
}
.nav-menu li {
list-style: none;
display: inline-block;
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
font-size: 10pt;
padding: 20px;
}
.nav-menu li:last-child {margin: 0}
.nav-menu li:hover { cursor: pointer;}
.nav-left {
float: left;
color: #02c576;
font-family: 'Lato', sans-serif;
font-weight: 900;
font-size: 15pt;
letter-spacing: 4px;
height: 100%;
}
.logo {
position: relative;
height: 24px;
top: 50%;
margin: -12px 0px 0px 130px;
}
.nav-button {
display: none;
}
<div class="nav">
<div class="nav-inner">
<div class="nav-left">
<div class="logo">
<p>Company Name</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="nav-right">
<div class="nav-menu">
<ol>
<li data-menu="Link1">Link1</li>
<li data-menu="Link2">Link2</li>
<li data-menu="Link3">Link3</li>
<li data-menu="Link4">Link3</li>
</ol>
</div>
</div>
<div class="nav-button">
<img src="Images/menu.png">
</div>
</div>
</div>
Thanks in advance!
Well after trying and trying I added a z-index in the .nav css and it worked... finally! I have no clear explanation for why it worked, but it worked for me.
There is no way currently in CSS alone to select a parent of a child.
The best way I can think of to do this, or at least the simplest would require a little JS.
Simple add a data attribute to your list items, and a JS event that on hover passes the value of the data attribute as a class to the fixed navigation. That class would control color.
Have a go yourself, if you struggle post some code and we can fix it.
Seems to work fine for me with your code (all I did was actually put the <a> tags inside the <li> elements, since that was what your code was targeting.)
.nav {
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
height: 80px;
background-color: #ffffff;
box-shadow: 0px -2px 5px 1px;
}
.nav-inner {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
max-width: 1500px;
height: 80px;
margin-left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%);
}
.nav-right {
float: right;
height: 100%;
}
.nav-menu {
position: relative;
top: 50%;
margin: -30px 130px 0px 0px;
height: 60px;
}
.nav-menu li {
list-style: none;
display: inline-block;
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
font-size: 10pt;
padding: 20px;
}
.nav-menu li:last-child {margin: 0}
.nav-menu li a:hover {
cursor: pointer;
color: red;
}
.nav-left {
float: left;
color: #02c576;
font-family: 'Lato', sans-serif;
font-weight: 900;
font-size: 15pt;
letter-spacing: 4px;
height: 100%;
}
.logo {
position: relative;
height: 24px;
top: 50%;
margin: -12px 0px 0px 130px;
}

display: none;

<li data-menu="Link3"><a href=#>Link3</a></li>
<li data-menu="Link4"><a href=#>Link4</a></li>
</ol>
</div>
</div>
<div class="nav-button">
<img src="Images/menu.png">
</div>
</div>
</div>
well, you code works fine for me
js fiddle linke
I saw your code and if you don't want to use <a> tag you have to add
.nav-menu li:hover{
color:#fff;
}
simple code
nav { width: 100px; height: 80px; position: fixed; }
nav li { display: inline-block; }
nav li:hover { color: white; }
<nav>
<ul>
<li>dhh</li>
<li>fs</li>
<li>ss</li>
</ul>
</nav>
The simplest way I've tried is putting a filler element inside the first element, and target styling hover for that inner element.
I was just continuing with making this website and all of a sudden some of my navbar padding goes 'missing' and I can't seem to pinpoint the mistake. I've already played the detective game and commented out some of the stuff I thought was interfering. Luckily I have an original picture before the screw-up and one after. Some of the 'paragraph text' will be 'placeheld' for personal reasons and I think it's irrelevant, unless it's needed in order to fix the problem.
-Thanks.

Your problem exists because you have set the height of the #nav element to 40 px. When you add the padding to your a element, you make it larger than the ul element. This can be solved easily by updating two lines of code.
First, remove from css:
#nav{ height:40px; }
Then, add to html after ul but before closing the nav div:
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
Here is a jsfiddle of your working page: https://jsfiddle.net/8o279n5r/
And here is a great answer on what the clear property does: What does the CSS rule clear: both do?
I am having trouble positioning The about where i want it here's my code so far:

and heres the style sheet

You have a div id="overlay" which is not being styled at all.
And you have a #about CSS which isn't being used at all.
That's the root of your problem - I'd change the div with id="overlay" to id="about" to start with.
I am trying to make a basic site with HTML & CSS, with a navigation bar, but I have a problem with it [below]:
body
{
background-color: #666;
}
.font_title
{
font-family: "Segoe UI";
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 60px;
text-align: center;
}
#title
{
width: 800px;
}
#container
{
position: relative;
margin: auto;
width: 800px;
height: 995px;
background-color: #CCCCCC;
}
#navigation_holder
{
position: relative;
margin: auto;
width: 800px;
}
.navigation_button
{
font-family: "Segoe UI";
text-align: center;
font-size: 26px;
width: 200px;
height: 40px;
background-color: #09C;
}
.navigation_button:hover
{
background-color: #09F;
}
<div id="container"> <!-- The main container -->
<div class="font_title", id="title"> Our Site</div>
<div id="navigation_holder">
<div id="navigation_button_1", class="navigation_button"> Home </div>
<div id="navigation_button_2", class="navigation_button"> About </div>
<div id="navigation_button_3", class="navigation_button"> Services </div>
<div id="navigation_button_4", class="navigation_button"> Contact </div>
</div>
<!-- More DIVs in the container -->
</div>
The problem is - all my navigation buttons are stacked up ontop of each other, not on a row. What am I doing wrong?
Instead of making them divs, use anchor tags inside lists. Here's the image and the complete working code for you:
<html>
<head>
<style>
body
{
background-color: #666;
}
.font_title
{
font-family: "Segoe UI";
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 60px;
text-align: center;
}
#title
{
width: 800px;
}
#container
{
position: relative;
margin: auto;
width: 800px;
height: 995px;
background-color: #CCCCCC;
}
#navigation_holder
{
position: relative;
margin: auto;
width: 800px;
}
.navigation_button
{
font-family: "Segoe UI";
text-align: center;
font-size: 26px;
width: 200px;
height: 40px;
background-color: #09C;
}
.navigation_button:hover
{
background-color: #09F;
}

{
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
overflow:hidden;
}

{
float:left;
}
a:link,a:visited
{
display:block;
width:200px;
font-family: "Segoe UI";
text-align: center;
font-size: 26px;
width: 200px;
height: 40px;
background-color: #09C;
}
a:hover,a:active
{
background-color: #09F;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container"> <!-- The main container -->
<div class="font_title", id="title"> Our Site</div>
<div id="navigation_holder">
<ul>
<li id="navigation_button_1" > Home </li>
<li id="navigation_button_2" > About </li>
<li id="navigation_button_3" > Services </li>
<li id="navigation_button_4" > Contact </li>
</ul>
</div>
<!-- More DIVs in the container -->
</div>
</body>

The problem is that divs are block elements, thus they naturally position themselves on top of each other. You can use several methods to get them to behave. Applying a display: inline-block to your .navigation_button class is what I would prefer in most cases. In this case, however, a float: left will work just as well.
The two methods have their benefits and drawbacks, but floats can become problematic because they essentially become unrecognizable to non-floated elements (in the same way position: absolute does).
As an aside, if I were you, I'd pull the height off your container, change #navigation_holder to a <nav>, and perhaps even pull the ids (and possibly even the classes!) off of your individual navigation elements. Heck, you could even take out the inner divs entirely, and replace them with a ul whose li were display: inline (it would be more semantic).
You could then reference them like this:
.navigation_holder ul li {
display: inline;
padding-left: 40px; /* or whatever */
}
And if you need to target only the first or last:
.navigation_holder ul li:first-of-type {
// styles
}
.navigation_holder ul li:last-of-type {
// styles
}
To pop the default styles off the ul:
.navigation_holder ul {
list-style-type: none;
}
A reply to your question, and a question to your question...
What are you looking for?
Here are 3 examples:
1 Providing you wanted a normal left hand horizontal inline-list you would do:
HTML
<div id="navigation_holder">
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS
#navigation_left ul
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
}
#navigation_left ul li { display: inline; }
#navigation_left ul li a
{
font-family:"Helvetica Neue","Helvetica",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
text-decoration: none;
padding: .2em 1em;
color: #DDD;
background-color: #0099CF;
border-radius: 4px;
}
#navigation_left ul li a:hover
{
color: #FFF;
background-color: #00BEF9;
}
2 Providing you want to center your li elements.
HTML
<div id="navigation_center">
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS
#navigation_center ul
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
text-align: center;
}
#navigation_center ul li { display: inline; }
#navigation_center ul li a
{
font-family:"Helvetica Neue","Helvetica",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
text-decoration: none;
padding: .2em 1em;
color: #DDD;
background-color: #0099CF;
border-radius: 4px;
}
#navigation_center ul li a:hover
{
color: #FFF;
background-color: #00BEF9;
}
3 Providing you want to center your li elements with a solid background.
HTML
<div id="navigation_center_full">
<ul class="full">
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS
#navigation_center_full ul
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
text-align: center;
padding: .2em 1em;
color: #DDD;
background-color: #0099CF;
}
#navigation_center_full ul li { display: inline; }
#navigation_center_full ul li a
{
font-family:"Helvetica Neue","Helvetica",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
text-decoration: none;
padding: .2em 1em;
color: #DDD;
background-color: #0099CF;
border-radius: 4px;
}
#navigation_center_full ul li a:hover
{
color: #FFF;
background-color: #00BEF9;
}
Pretty sure this should help you.
Why you dont use <ul> and <li> tags? I think is better. Then in CSS you must use:
display: inline
