CSS prevents scrolling - html

I'm working on a project for a friend, which involves making a website for his Real-estate company. The page is all done, with the content on it.. and there's sufficient content that I'd have to scroll down to read the whole page.
When I add the link to the external CSS stylesheet to the header, the page gets the look that I want, but for some reason, the scroll-bars disappear (Chrome and Safari, Mac 10.8) and I can't scroll down to read the content at the bottom. Removing the link to the CSS brings back the scrollbar, but obviously the pages lose all their styling.
I've attached a copy of the stylesheet, if anyone sees something that could cause this, help would be appreciated.
#wrapper {

}
#sidebar {

background: url("../img/sidebar.gif") top left repeat-y;
}
#main {
width: 734px;
margin-left: 300px;
min-height: 1000px;
position: fixed;
}
div, img, form, fieldset, ul, li, h1, h2, h3, h6, p {
margin: 0;
padding: 5;
border: 0;
}
a.photo:link {
font: normal 8px/100% "Verdana", "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;
text-decoration: none;
color: #4b2b16;
}
a.photo:visited {
font: normal 8px/100% "Verdana", "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;
text-decoration: none;
color: #4b2b16;
}
a.photo:hover {
font: normal 8px/100% "Verdana", "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;
text-decoration: underline;

}
a.photo:active {

text-align: center;
}
img.display {
margin-left: 150px;
padding: 1px;
border: 5px outset;
border-color: #EE7621;
}

Without seeing the HTML, my first thought was some overflow: hidden but then I noticed this:
#main {
width: 734px;
margin-left: 300px;
min-height: 1000px;
position: fixed;
}
The position: fixed is probably the problem here. Remove it.

Try removing position:fixed; from #main:
#main {
width: 734px;
margin-left: 300px;
min-height: 1000px;
//position: fixed;
}

You need change the property in the #main position, you are using position:fixed, change this to position:scroll. Also do not repeat CSS properties, instead do this:
#wrapper {
width: 1024px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
body {
background: #E4BD82 url("../img/bg.gif") repeat;
font: normal 12px/150% "Verdana", "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;
color: #4b2b16;
}
#header {
margin:0 auto;
top: 0px;
width: 1024px;
height: 150px;
position:relative;
background: url("../img/header.gif") bottom left no-repeat;
}
#menu ul {
height: 42px;
list-style: none;
bottom: 5px;
left: 90px;
}
#menu ul li {
float: left;
height: 42px;
line-height: 42px;
padding: 13px 20px;
font-weight: bold;
}
#menu ul li a {
color: #D89915;
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
}
#menu ul li a:hover {
background-color: #4D3406;
color: #EAF6AD;
}
#sidebar {
position:fixed;
top: 151px; height: 100%; width: 290px;
background: url("../img/sidebar.gif") top left repeat-y;
}
#main {
max-width: 734px;
margin-left: 300px;
position: scroll;
}
div, img, form, fieldset, ul, li, h1, h2, h3, h6, p {
margin: 0;
padding: 5;
border: 0;
}
a.photo, a.photo:visited{
font: normal 8px/100% "Verdana", "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;
text-decoration: none;

Trying to inherit width to an img tag in css

I'm trying to inherit the width of an id to an img tag so that the image is never bigger than the id around it. But somehow inherit is not working but when I use width with an absolute value like 580px it works.
I'm wondering why it doesn't work.
this is how it looks in chrome inspector.
and this is the important part of my css code.
#content {
position: absolute;
font: 16px/1.5 'PT Serif', Times, Cambria, serif;
width: 580px;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -100px;
}
#content p,
#content ul {
margin-bottom: 25px;
}
#content ul {
padding-left: 20px;
}
#content li {
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
#content div.actions {
margin-top: 25px;
font-size: 14px;
font-family: 'Open Sans Condensed', sans-serif;
}
#content div.actions .readmore {
text-decoration: none !important;
padding: 0 2px;
}
#content div.actions .readmore:hover {
background-color: #389dc1;
color: #fff;
}
#content div.actions .comments {
color: #ccc;
margin-left: 10px;
text-decoration: none;
}
.post {
padding: 50px 0 15px 0;
border-bottom: 1px solid #dfdfdf;
}
.post .date {
font: bold 12px 'Open Sans Condensed', sans-serif;
text-transform: uppercase;
color: #a7a7a7;
margin: 24px 0 30px 20px;
position: relative;
}
.post .date:before {
width: 18px;
height: 18px;
position: absolute;
content: '';
left: -22px;
top: -1px;
}
.post img {
width: inherit;
}
Check here : Width inherit on fixed div doesn't work
The inherit keyword specifies that a property should inherit its value from its parent element.
Here you got a p tag in parent.

Having trouble with <wbr> and image scaling

I'm trying to make a page with text floated left and the image floated right. I accomplished that, but my webpage images and text need to be able to properly resize. and width in css aren't working for me, unlike in my home page, so I was wondering if anyone could fix it.
<section>
<div id="right">
<img src="../img/placeholder.png" alt="Photo of --">
<p>--</p>
</div>
<p id="left">Web and Graphic Designer beginner,<wbr>blah blah.</p>
</section>
and the css (I included all of it just in case, but the most relevant part is the bottom PAGE PORTFOLIO):
/*ABOUT CSS*/
/*GENERAL*/
body {
}
ul {
list-style: none;
}
/*section*/
section {
max-width: 940px;
font-family: 'Open Sans Condensed', sans-serif;
font-weight: 300;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
color: gray;
}
/*all styling*/
* {
background-color: #f2f2f2;
}
/*all links*/
a {
text-decoration: none;
font-family: 'Open Sans Condensed', sans-serif;
font-weight: 300;
color: gray;
}
/*visited links and hover links*/

a:hover {
font-size:105%;
}
/*HEADING*/

font-weight: 700;

width: 100%;
}
/*NAVIGATION*/
nav {
text-align: center;
padding: 10px 0;
}
/*horizontal nav*/
nav li {
display: inline;
}
nav a {
display: inline-block;
padding: 2% 2%;
}
/*FOOTER*/
footer {
font-size:0.75em;
text-align: center;
clear: both;
}
/*social media*/
footer {
text-align: center;
margin: 0 5px;
padding: 15px 15px;
}
#twitter img {
width: 46px;
height: 37px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 15px 15px;
}
#facebook img {
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 15px 15px;
}
/*PAGE PORTFOLIO*/
#right {
float: right;
width: 40%;
height: 40%;
}
#left {
float: left;
}
What's wrong here
Used your code except for:
p+img {
width:50px;
height:50px;
text-wrap:true;
float:left;
}
which is for extra text

How to remove the space under footer?

Please help!
I tried many tricks to remove the white space under my footer but none of them solved my problem. I noticed that the white space is only visible in the pages with text, p and h1 tags. Any help is highly appreciated.

Replacing the footers 900px with 100% should do the trick.
I think you'll need implement a sticky footer technics by setting html,body height to 100% and
setting id#container as the following:
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 100%;
}
#container {
height: auto !important;
min-height: 100%;
height: 100%;
}

CSS no background image, any ideas?

I'm trying to get my background image to show at the top center of the page. The image works fine if I do:
<style>
body {
background: #FFF url('img/top_logo_blank_small.png') no-repeat fixed;
}
</style>
I can't seem to work out where I've gone wrong. There must be something I've managed to mess up, I just can't see it. Here is the CSS:
body {
font-family: 'Quattrocento Sans', helvetica, sans-serif;
background: #EEE url('img/top_logo_blank_small.png') no-repeat fixed;
color: #fff;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
a {
color: black;
text-decoration: none;
}

Try to change your path for example:
background: #EEE url('../img/top_logo_blank_small.png') no-repeat fixed top;
Because you are in a subfolder, you have to go up of a level I think
Most likely your css file is in a different folder and therefore needs another path to the image file.
The common way is to put css in a separate css/* folder, so the path should be:
url('../img/top_logo_blank_small.png')
This CSS seems to work fine, are you certain that the image exists?
http://jsfiddle.net/ghsNR/
I've just tried it here and it works fine with an image from http://placehold.it/
body {
font-family: 'Quattrocento Sans', helvetica, sans-serif;
background: #EEE url('http://placehold.it/500x500') no-repeat fixed top;
color: white;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
The most likely cause after observing this is that your CSS isn't actually locating your image correctly. I suggest using tools like the Chrome dev tools, or Firebug to inspect the absolute path that the browser is trying to use to load the image and moving forward from there.
Is the css in the same folder as the page? If you have a different folders, you need to change the URL accordingly.
Maybe change the URL to
'../img/top_logo_blank_small.png'

Aligning a container in CSS

Unfortunately my knowledge of CSS is fairly limited, I currently have a theme, although I would like the right hand captions e.g. Contact and About to be aligned to the right so the two captions will always appear on the right hand side of the page.
Any help would be appreicated, I have identified the container in CSS - "right"
The template is located here:

CSS Code:

Don't know if this is too obvious, but--
The CSS looks alright,
Just note that it's #right -- not .right -- so obviously in your html you'll be using div id not div class
You would use
<div id="right">content here</div>
not
<div class="right">content here</div>
hope this helps.
If you're still having problems, you should contact the vendor from where you purchased the template.
