Body of my document wraps over when resizing - html

I just began developing a website for a client and have ran into a problem of which I've never encountered before.
As I begin to re-size my browser my page body begins to wrap around my containers which leaves a very annoying bar to the right, I am certain it is the body element which is causing the problem as I changed the background color and the wrap appeared in that color.
I have built this site upon a fluid grid system and never had this problem in a previous version, however my client did not like the adaptive style implemented in an earlier version so I changed the responsive behavior to only take effect upon the main wrapper of the document.
My site can be seen here on my test server - http://ajsimsdesign.com , please drag resize the browser to about 400px wide and scroll across to see the problem described above.
Any suggestions to why my site is behaving like this would be much appreciated, I am completely boggled!

Can you try removing the width on line 299:
.container,
.navbar-static-top .container,
.navbar-fixed-top .container,
.navbar-fixed-bottom .container {
width: 940px; <-THIS
}
That seems to work when I turn it off in the console.

The div.container.videos that starts on line 124 of the page source isn't being resized fluidly below 940px. The code that is setting the size to 940px is line 299 in bootstrap.css. You just need to add the proper rules to resize it at the various breakpoints.

How can I remove the extra space on right side of my website

I have build a landing page using tailwindcss and glider.js for simple slider but after I finished the website I was struck with issue on responsive design part were I was sure that problem didn't occur when before and that is I have an extra space to right all most in all devices when I use chrome inspector device toolbar only on chrome works proberly on mozilla but only this website has this issue on chrome.
I have checked for any elements that may be the cause but without any luck.
as you can see my html element width is 1536 just like in dimension but the extra white space is accually more then 1536.
The div class 2xl:max-w-[1535px] is probably causing the content not to stretch any further. Try changing this value in the css file and see if that helps.
In your main.css file:
#media (min-width: 1536px) {
.container {
max-width: 1536px;
}
}
In your index.html try to comment out the "container" class of the second div element in the body to see if this is causing the width limitation.
So the problem is that I was using transform translate for animations I have set overflow-hidden to body but didn't work.
The way I solve it was just apply overflow:hidden for the parent of all elements with animations.

I can't make this background img to cover the full height in desktop view

I've been searching in other questions since this is a pretty common problem but none of them applied to my case.
I'm developing a small web app with React, just to get the basics, and the background img works fine in mobile view (there's a media query that changes it at 480px to a portrait one) it resizes from 480px to 320 and looks good.
The problem is that, at certain heights if you stretch or wide the window the background gets stucked in the middle of it (if you recharge the page it appears as it should, being the window in the same exact place as where the problem occurs).
The img is loaded through CSS in the html, If I remove the background-size property it works as expected in desktop and mobile, but when I cross the 1260px width it doesnt cover the full width.
I have this codesandbox with all my code: https://codesandbox.io/s/stoic-brahmagupta-ro2kb?file=/src/style.css
And I attach an image of the problem. Thanks in advance.
As u r testing this you can see the content of the App is overflowing the html element
I rather use min-height on global elements like body or html than static height to prevent such as cases.
So to fix it you just simply add
html {
height: auto;
min-height: 100vh;
To prevent not overflowing instead of scaling we just add min-height equaly of 100vh (viewport height).
I think it will propably do the job without height: auto; but i like add it to prevent even more edge casing

Webpage gets messy when the browser changes size

I'm not a very talented web designer, so I'm having trouble to make my webpage stay in tact when the browser changes its size. It gets all messy and it looks awful.
When the browser is at its full size, the page looks fine.
This is how it looks like before re-sizing the browser:
And this is how it looks after making the browser smaller:
This happens only when you re-size the browser horizontally.
This is my CSS: http://pastebin.com/SfKT0Eth
I can't figure out my mistake since I'm not very good in HTML/CSS. That's not my area so I'm lacking the knowledge to figure this out myself.
I would appreciate your help.
EDIT
I fixed the problem with the sidebar and the dark content space. What I'm failing to achieve is prevent the upper menu (top-nav) items to fall down when the screen gets small.
I simply changed this in #sidebar:
width: 270px;
to
width: 19%;

Hi just i see your fiddle ... there are a few problems:
Number one you're setting the width with % this takes it in relation with the browsers size, you can set min-width and max-wdith to avoid this problem.
Try to put first in your html the box that is float:left and after the box float:right
I don't understand why you use postion:absolute for the outer div.
View this demo with your Fiddle fixed http://jsfiddle.net/J3jm7/15/
First of all you should really make a Jsfiddle with your question as with css alone I can't really see what is going on.
Now as far as I can see you are using absolute values for width in some elements. You should take a look at using % values. Also you should look into media queries through css. For example your side bar would be better if it was hidden or position below your main window when the browser gets really small width.
You could achieve something like that by using something like
#media screen and (max-width: 800px){
#sidebar {
display:none;
}
This would hide the sidebar if the browser window get resized below 800px width
or
#media screen and (max-width: 800px){
#sidebar {
float:none;
width:100%
}
This would have the sidebar get below your main window and size it to the full width of its parent element if the browser window get resized below 800px width
The media queries should of course coexist with your rest of css
Ah, I see you've added a fiddle. well if you want to keep your sidebar at 270px width you could do this with the container
.container {
width: calc(100% - 275px);
...
...
}
Very simply speaking it is hard to debug without a staging URL to look at. Anyway, your issue is because you are not using fluid development practices. Maybe try to google up how to develop fluid development. The idea is to use % and em and a base css font size. Also, you may wanna look at bootstrap3.

viewport settings causing rotation issues in Mobile Safari

First off, this is not the zoom issue that I've seen in other questions. Also, I'm testing this using an iPhone 4, running iOS 6. In working on a mobile project, I discovered an issue with the viewport tag and mobile safari. I distilled everything into code as basic as I could get it. I have there parameters set:
width=device-width
height=device-height
initial-scale=1.0
maximum-scale=1.0
user-scalable=no
It all works fine, until you rotate the screen. Nothing gets resized, and a black bar appears on the right side to fill in the gap (see screenshots). If I remove height=device-height completely, the problem goes away. However, I do need to use this parameter. Otherwise, I will have to ask a different question.
After rotating back to portrait mode, that black bar remains, and I can scroll left and right. This is a very strange issue. Removing width=device-width does something else unexpected. I have the code here if you would like to try it: http://toastd.net/viewport.html
Here are some screenshots:
Here it is working fine in portrait mode:
When rotated to landscape mode
Then rotated back into portrait mode
The meta tag will help define rules for the viewport but you still need to apply visual styling to address the change in orientation. Give these CSS values a try:
body { width: 100%; height: 100%; }

PhoneGap Start
I believe this is a bug on Safari, but I figured out a way to work around it. It has to do with certain elements and their styles. By process of elimination, I narrowed it down to a few "offending" HTML elements. Deleting width: 100%; from some elements and CSS styles, as well as other static widths like width: 120px; would start to get reduce problem. I say "start to reduce", because the margin on the right became smaller, but didn't go away completely. I then started playing with other CSS attributes like margin and padding. After getting rid of some left and right padding from some elements, the problem finally went away. But this wasn't really acceptable, as those styles were there for a reason.
The solution was to wrap everything in a container element, size that appropriately, and set overflow: hidden; in CSS. Setting overflow: hidden; to the body or html tags would work too, but that did funky things with vertical scrolling in Mobile Safari. In my case, there was already such a container element, so all I had to do was add the overflow property to it.
Like I said, I think this is a bug in Safari. When you rotate from Landscape to Portrait, everything should be resized back to fit portrait mode. Visually, everything does look like it was resized properly. However, Safari must have thought something wasn't resized properly, so it displayed the page wider than it really was. This works just fine in Chrome on an Android device. I also added different background colors and borders to highlight which element might be causing the page to stretch beyond the width of the device screen. Visually, there was no apparent culprit.
If you're thinking it might be a width: 100% plus padding issue, I had the same thought. But then deleting either the width or the margin/padding alone should have fixed the issue, which it did not. Not a single element was sitting beyond the edge of the screen. There was nothing but empty space there.

Elements overlapping eachother on window resize

On this template I've built using Foundation, everything looks correct and responsive except for both navigation bars. They're both on their own <div class="row">, yet they overlap eachother on window resize.
(There is a #media only screen and (max-width: 767px) that is supposed to make it look even cleaner, if it helps at all).
Actually if you open the page on chrome with the developer tools or in firefox with firebug, you can see that when you make the page smaller than 767px width, is when the problems enters, due your #media only screen and (max-width: 767px). i would recommend to check that css cause if you removed it from the html you get a better result, so you may check what attributes inside that css are making your div crazy.
try adding foundation.css (around line 148) .row class height to 140px and moving main-links somewhere inside top of the main-content? That code seriously need either playing around with heights/margin or div blocks imo :)
Edit: roughly editing foundation.css lines is not what you need, make separate css class for that specific height setting and trigger usage of it with correct media query (width which causes problem to occur). That way you can tune any classes you like around the top navigation, its not pretty but it gets things work.
As Jorge Aguilar said, the problem lied in a float: none that was applied to every <li>. Furthermore, I used a width: 100% property to stretch the elements across the entire screen (like it originally was with the floats, but without the overlapping)
