See this: http://jsfiddle.net/xA8rm/
<div style="max-width:10px; oveflow:hidden;">
adwadddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
</div>
I expected the div to be 10px in width and the characters that don't fit to be hidden.
Why isn't that happening?

<div style="max-width:10px; overflow-x:hidden;">
adwadddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
</div>
First, you've misspelled overflow.
Second, max-width won't work on an hbox element (because they are display:inline and you can't set widths and heights on inline elements), so I changed it to a div. (You could also use an hbox and set it to display:block instead if you want to.)
Fiddle

Change oveflow: hidden to overflow: hidden (You're missing the R):

You're missing a r:
oveflow:hidden
should be:
overflow:hidden

Let's say I've got two elements, as pictured below, an img and a .date element. I've put a padding-top on the .date element, but it's just padding "inside" the img rather than being pushed off it. What would cause this? Is it the position of the img?
Is the element set to display:block? Inline elements (span, a, i, strong etc) will not respond to margin or padding.

I have a set of social media sprites aligned in a row, centered in a container with display:inline but I just realized they don't display at all in Firefox. What's the best alternative?
Inline elements don't have height. I assume that you're using sprites as CSS backgrounds, so you'll need to use inline-block and set explicit height and width.

I'm creating web site layout.
This is label3 css :
background-color:#c4efd5;
min-height:368px;
height:100%;
I want the label3(<div>) re-size to 450px when I insert image height=450px and when there's no data in the box, the minimum height of label3 will be 368px. I used min-height but it didn't work.
Any answer will be appreciate. Thanks you.
Remove height: 100% it is overwriting your min-height
What element is this being applied to? Height will have no effect on inline elements such as spans etc. Either apply it to a block level element or set display: block on the selector

I'm writing my home page in and the footer is shown on top of the main section.
I tried adding position:relative and position:absolute;bottom:0; but it did not work.
remove height from CSS style in this classes : .login and .homeArticle that way it will always fit at the bottom.

You can see a thick blue line below the slider in http://nextrelease.officetimer.com/. How do I extend that line to the screen width. Please Help.
all your elements are in the one container. so you blue line will extend to the outer container only. if you want to extend it further more, write the line outside the container. It is impossible to change using inline styles.
Thanks
looking at OT.css of that site you can see that .customer_logo_slider_line has left and right margins of 18% and 19%;
just change the values accordingly.
unset the width for .wrapper
and add it to .wrapper div
