Footer out of alignment on zoom in / zoom out - html

I'm currently having a problem with a website's footer.
When working on it at 100% size (normal size) the footer is nicely aligned. However, when I resize it it goes totally out of alignment and sits to the left, it needs to stay centred.
Screen shot:
Relevant CSS:
/* Dark blue area above the main part of the footer, stays aligned */
#footerUpper {
clear: left;
width: 100%;
vertical-align: top;
background-color: #252B76;
text-align: center;
color: #FFFFFF;
margin-top: 30px;
/* padding: 5px;*/
}
#footerUpper ul {
padding: 0;
margin: 25px 0px;
list-style: none;
}
#footerUpper li {
display: inline;
padding: 0 52px;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
}
#footerUpper li a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #FFFFFF;
}
/* Main part of the footer */
#footer {
float: left;
width: 100%;
color: #252B76;
background-color: #89B0F1;
padding: 5px;
}
/* Table within the footer */
#footerTable {
width: 980px;
margin-left: 150px;
}
Thanks.

Without seeing more of the code, or a working example of it it's difficult to get too much of an idea about what's going wrong.
But I think a solution might be to have a static width on the inner-content, so for example the content that is mis-aligning itself, which I think is your "footerTable" - apply "margin:0 auto" to it to centre align it, this is assuming it's parent is 100% width, which I believe it is. Also, remove any other margin rules that apply to it.

It's because you're floating the footer to the left, and then there's no container of the footer which is centrally aligned. You can either:
Remove float: left and instead do a margin-left: auto; and margin-right: auto;
Make a container for your footer (or preferably your entire layout if it's all to be centrally aligned) and align the container to the center using margin-left: auto; and margin-right: auto;
There are of course other ways to centrally align block elements, but these are the most effective and recommended.

Since you have no reason to be floating the footer (so you say):
Remove the following styles:
float: left;
width: 100%;
Then, to make sure the table is centered, add this style:
text-align:center;
And you should find the footer stretches to the page width, no matter what zoom.

Weird responsive/sticky footer issues

My footer is having some odd issues when the screen resolution gets to a certain point - it responds and works with the screen size, but only the upper half of the footer has a background. I have bottom set to 0; and position set to absolute but it just isn't looking good. Any help would be appreciated.
Link to webpage (be sure to play with the responsiveness to see what I'm talking about): http://cardspoiler.com/Cardspoiler/MSoG/Navbar/Mage.html
HTML: https://github.com/Bonteqq/Cardspoiler/blob/gh-pages/Cardspoiler/MSoG/Navbar/Mage.html
CSS: https://github.com/Bonteqq/Cardspoiler/blob/gh-pages/Cardspoiler/Cardspoiler.css
The issue I am seeing is in the .left and .right classes. You have a transform: translateY(25%); attribute on them which is pushing them down past their natural positions. If you want your footer to sit at the bottom of the page and have the same look they do now change your CSS like so:
footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
background-color: rgba(128,128,128,.3);
text-align: center;
border-top: 1px solid #232526;
}
.left, .right {
display: inline-block;
list-style-type: none;
width: auto;
font-size: 100%;
vertical-align: top;
bottom: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
padding-bottom: 10px;
}
.right li {
text-align: left;
}
Basically I just removed all of the translate properties from those divs removed the margin-bottom from the uls and adding some padding-bottom to them. With the max-height removed from the footer tag the padding gives some space from the bottom of the page and expands the footer background so it doesn't leave a gap at the bottom.

Aligning nav with logo using relative positioning

My CSS positioning skills have always been truly terrible. I'm looking to place my nav bar next to my logo, as well as making it move with the page and not get all screwy on anything smaller than a maximized window on a 1080p screen.
What it currently looks like: http://5.9.78.201/abellant/
It will likely look odd if you're on a different screen size.
I've (so far) used methods found on here, to no avail, using relative, absolute, and even clearing before giving up on it.
Can anyone show me where I'm screwing this up? I'm quite embarrassed by the fact that of all things, my positioning is just so bad.
Thank you.
If you want to position your logo and navbar at the center of the page::
Set #header "display:inline-block", "height:auto" and "text-align: center;" and remove all the css you have added to #logo and #navigation
#header {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
background: #f2f2f2;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
box-shadow: 0 1.5px 1px #777;
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
}
And if you want to set your logo and navigation side by side::
#header {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
background: #f2f2f2;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
box-shadow: 0 1.5px 1px #777;
display: inline-block;
}
#logo {
float: left;
width: 50%;
}
#navigation {
float: right;
margin: 40px;
}
If you want to move your header section with page scroll. Set #header to "position:fixed".
So part of the problem is that you have a fixed left and right margin. Remove the fixed left and right margin for #logo and #navigation and do something like the following in your CSS:
#header {
margin: 0 auto; /* 0 px on top and bottom, auto on left and right => centered for a block element */
width: 960px; /* You need a width that will accomodate the logo and nav */
}
To make this work at other sizes, you'll need to look into CSS3 breakpoints. Here is a tutorial:
https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/design-and-ui/responsive/fundamentals/?hl=en
I solve your problem.
.container {
min-width: 500px;
position: relative;
text-align: center;
}
#logo {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
#navigation {
display: inline-block;
}
If you noticed that the logo and the menu are NOT perfectly center it's because your image has a small white space, if you could delete that space and replace the new image it will be PERFECTLY center :)

3 column responsive footer

I have a responsive grid layout for thumbnail images and a full width header. It is built using 'ul' and 'li' to make the grid. So basically I'm not using a responsive grid layout throughout. Although I would like to have a three column footer at the bottom that is responsive (stack on top of each other)
I want the first column to align full left and the other two columns to align right. each column is only around 15% of the total width (so i couldn't just have all three width 33%) I want the functionality of a three column layout like in many of the themes like skeleton boilerplate, etc
I am having trouble making a good css markup that will work, I have used...
css
F1 {
padding: 15px;
width: 100px;
margin: 0 0 0 20px;
float: right;
}
.F2 {
float: left;
text-align: left;
}
.F3 {
font-size: 13px;
text-align: right;
float: right;
}
but that just separates the divs, and doesn't offer much control
any help or references to help are greatly appreciated
If I'm understanding this correctly, the following can work. Shown with divs, but a ul & li structure would work as well.
HTML:
<div class="footer">
<div class="f1">first left</div>
<div class="f2">middle right</div>
<div class="f3">last right</div>
</div>
CSS:
.footer {
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
}
.f1 {
background: green;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.f2 {
background: pink;
}
.f3 {
background: blue;
}
.f1,
.f2,
.f3 {
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
display: inline-block;
text-align: right;
font-size: 12px;
padding: 0 8%;
min-width: 300px;
width: 33%;
}
.f1 {
text-align: left;
}
If you set your divs to display inline-block with a min-width, on browser resize the columns will begin to stack one on top of the other.
Alternatively, depending on styling, you might want to set them to inline-block without a min-width, and set a media query for them to display block on all screen sizes you want them stacked one on top of the other.
If you set box-sizing to border-box, you can add the necessary padding to the inside of the container to keep the content area around 15% of the total width.
Hope this helps!

Aligning last div elements

I've tried to align last div element / elements using text-align-last property but it didn't work. I have much divs in the center, but my page is different on each resolution so I can't control if elements will be perfectly and none of them will be in last line alone or so, that's why I want to align them to left.
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/ecn8c0pt/
Picture of my site:
Adding the following CSS will work.
http://jsfiddle.net/ecn8c0pt/1/
#gallery h2{
margin: 0;
height: 80px; /*Added height for the Heading */
font-size: 1.1em;
font-weight: 300;
color: #33CCFF;
}
.project{
display: inline-block;
margin: 0 15px 40px;
width: 156px; //To show in jsfiddle i reduced the width.
text-align: left;
float: left; //MUST CHANGE: Once you align left it will automatically float to left. Also the number of count per row will depends on the window width and div width.
}
.project .thumbnail{
width: 156px;//To show in jsfiddle i reduced the width.
height: 144px;
border-radius: 3px;
}
try adding styles to your CSS like these:
float:left;
min-width: 200px;
max-width: 200px;
and try to fix the width for the wrapping div tag
for example:
.wrapper {
width:1000px;
}
see in example DEMO and try to predict the width now when you control it good luck!

Boxes appearing underneath footer. Require above

I have some div containers which expand when the 'view recipe button is clicked, but all 3 across the bottom will hide underneath the footer container, i'm unsure which element to alter to have the expanded containers appear above and not underneath.
live url: http://bit.ly/1hQuzRI
I've attached the css of the elements which are appearing underneath the footer and some from the footer too. I can paste the html but there is loads which will end up showing up. maybe best to just view direct on site.
.box2-container-collapsed {
padding: 10px;
width: 270px;
height: auto;
background-color: #F5F2E9;
display: block;
float: left;
margin-right: 20px;
margin-top: 20px;
position: relative;
}
.box2-content {
margin-left: 0px;
font-size: 0.9em;
min-height: 200px;
display: none;
}
#footer {
background-color: #F3F3F3;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
bottom: 0;
position: relative;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 100%;
}
Set the z-index in the footer to a negative number. Also try setting the z-index for the div that expands to a higher number.
Edit:
Your div with the class="content-container" has overflow:hidden. I removed that in my Chrome-Dev tools and the expanding div was visible after that. Side Note: It's difficult to see where the recipe ends and the footer begins. You may want to put a light border around the recipe div, too.
