Noormally you can select text with left click function
I work on this Site and am not able to select text in the top areas of the page.
What is wrong with the code?
HTML: link
CSS: link
The footer is on top of the text. Just remove position:absolute form #footer
EDIT:
I can't replicate your issues because my solution is working. Here you can see it
I right clicked the offending text in firefox and used the "inspect element" option, which helpfully tells me what element is sitting directly below the mouse.
Your #footer div is sitting ontop of the text, due to having position:absolute; set with no actual positioning.
If you remove the position:absolute; from #footer and reposition it properly, your problem should go away.
Related note:
I notice that the way you're handling positioning content on the page is a bit weird - you're using position:absolute for nearly everything?
It's outside of the scope of this answer but seriously consider moving away from this -- it's causing this problem and will probably give you a headache in future. That thing you're doing where the contents of your footer have massive margins to push them further down the page past the content? That's an unstable solution and a good sign that your layout has gone wrong somewhere.
This is a fairly simple layout and can be handled fine by basic flow control like floats...
The footer div blocks the text so only the upper part is unselectable. You might want to change your layout or structure of your html and css to avoid blocking the text.

I'm having trouble with my code with my CSS stylesheet and HTML index coding. I only have one problem and that is my CSS stylesheet isn't letting me place a div class into it. I'm using the free Brackets software which includes syntax highlighting and it's coming up red which is an error. Here is a picture of it:

As you can see in that picture, I've boxed around the place where it's disallowing me to place the div class into the stylsheet in white. I've given a working example with the blue box so I'm confused to why it's doing this.
My main question for you today is how do I create buttons directly in the center on the side of my page with CSS or however possible and how to edit these buttons like adding hover animations, visual looks etc? (I'm new to this by the way) Also, I want to lock the scrolling of my page in a certain area like in the picture described:
http://i62.tinypic.com/wmbyw.png
Lastly, I wish to ask how to make my content on the white area transition by sliding to the side for when I click a button to go onto the next page. However possible I would really appreciate if somebody gives me the time for this. Sadly I can't give another image because I don't have 10 reputation. so I hope you can make out what I'm trying to say.
I will be so grateful to anyone who helps me with this.
First off you need to close your .right-menu class with a }.
For effects and animations check out w3schools:
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_transitions.asp - transistion property
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_animations.asp - animations
Centering in CSS can be done with text-align: center or margin-left:auto; margin-right: auto.
To prevent scrolling of the body do body {overflow:hidden}
For sliding page content refer to my links above or checkout jQuery

Here's one for you that has me stumped:
I'm using background:url to put a small image in the bottom right corner of my container within css which works nicely. However, when users are on the account creation page, the section that has the "create account" and "cancel" buttons is overlapping with my image, obscuring half of it. Here's what it looks like:
I have looked into using z-index to fix this issue to no avail (since the image is a part of the container, if I decrease the z-index for the obscuring div, the whole section with the buttons is put behind the container which makes them impossible to see). I also don't want to go into each page individually and put the image into the html, especially since I'm using Joomla and the template html structure is pretty confusing for me. (Using Joomla 3.0.3 with the default Protostar template)
Am I missing something obvious? I feel like I am...
Thanks in advance!
You're funny :) Using a background image but wanting to put it in the foreground.
Just use an image tag and position it absolute in the bottom right of the container (don't forget to give the container position: relative)
The picture shows the problem area I have with my website. That little black line protrudes out from behind my dropdown menu and in Firefox the word resources will appear underneath home, but it IE and Chrome the menu looks as it should, except for that little black line that sticks out. The template I'm using is a modified Dreamweaver template. It didn't used to do this, but I breaked it :/
edit: all fixed.
You need to clear your floats.
If you add overflow: hidden to your top menu UL and the sidebar div, you will notice the HR moves down.
Edit
Just an FYI, there is probably a better way to clear your floats then just adding overflow: hidden everywhere like I showed in this answer. It really depends on how you are laying out the page, and I don't know what your plans are. Therefore, here are some links below that explain what floats are, how they work, and how to clear them, which should give you a better understanding.

I'm sure this is something simple but I am just not seeing it.
My wrapper DIV is floating left and the A tags within are displaying correctly but mousing over them you'll see that they are not the proper height/width.
I can't seem to get them in line, could someone take a quick look and tell me what I am missing?
Page is here, it's the social media icons
Any help is greatly appreciated, again I am sure it's something simple.
--Edit--
I am on a Mac, tested with firefox and safari so far, they don't hover correctly, only the very bottom portion of them actually function as a button.
In firebug, if I remove the wrappers float attribute, the links hover as they should. So I know it has something to do with the float.
On Chrome the icons are in a line but, as you said, only the bottom portion of them is active. The problem is that your #branding element extends down below the bottom of #main, partially obscuring #subWrapper, #sub, #left, and part of #right (though not enough to cause a problem there).
You could put overflow: hidden on #main, but then the graphic in #branding would get cut off at the bottom. (The graphics look very nice, BTW.) I think if you just add a positive z-index to either #sub or #subWrapper, such as z-index: 1, that should do the trick.
The problem is a footer on a web page that seem to not follow the correct flow like it does in FireFox. The problem feels like it is an Internet Explorer related bug, because the layout will "magically" snap into place when i move the mouse over the link "Legg til i handlelisten". On pages where the "description" part of the page is longer then the left column, the footer displays correctly. From what I can gather the bug is only active in IE8 when its running in "IE8 Compatibility Mode" or "IE7 mode". I am not able to recreate the bug when running IE6.
I was wondering if anyone is able to find a solution to this bug, maybe some CSS property I can set or a tag that needs modification.
These two images show the error and what its supposed to look like:

Edit: Clear: both; doesnt seem to do anything to solve the problem.
Yes... it looks like a float-caused problem.
Try adding this line into your HTML, just before the footer:
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
I think it is expecting an item that clears the floats.
Try floating the div.container or remove it, as it is useless and a mild case of divitis.
In older browsers, the float property in CSS removes the height from the element. Therefore an element which is floated to the left or right which would normally have a height of say 100px would now have a height of 0px and whatever content is below it would move up to fill that space where the content is supposed to be. Most browsers have fixed that error by now, but it still reappears in even the modern browsers. There is a very simple fix that you can add to your footer container in the CSS:
clear: both;
This will cause the element to clear any boxes that may be floating around and start fresh on its own line, or should anyways. It never hurts to try.
Read more about the clear property: http://www.w3schools.com/Css/pr_class_clear.asp
What happens exactly is that the left column gets shorter by a line when you hover the first link in the leggtilihandleliste div, and it gets longer by a line again when you hover the second link. It's only the left column div that is affected, not the link, the list containing the links or the div containing the list.
I don't know exactly why this is happening, but if you specify a height for the div containing the links, it stops happening (eventhough it's not that div that changes size).
Why does DIV#footer have display:none on it?
Anyway, if you float: left on .footerWithRightAndLeft you should be ok.
You can inspect things in IE if you hit F12, in case you didnt know. It's not as good as firebug, but it's something.
