Header overlapping body content - html

So I'm working on a layout and have completed the header. When I started working on the body content, I kept running into the issue where the header would overlap the body unless I set a top margin of the body wrapper to something huge (300+px) even then it can overlap when the screen is small. I think I have screwed up the positioning somewhere but I can't seem to figure out how to overcome this.
My HTML:
<body>
<div id="pageWrapper">
<div id="mainHeader">
<div id="mainNav">
<div id="navContent">
<div class="mainLogo"></div>
<div style="display: inline-block;">
<ul>
<li><img class="navIcons" src="http://lifeview.michiganweb.org/img/icons/dashboard.png" />Dashboard</li>
<li><img class="navIcons" src="http://lifeview.michiganweb.org/img/icons/patient.png" />Patients</li>
<li><img class="navIcons" src="http://lifeview.michiganweb.org/img/icons/devices.png" />Devices</li>
<li><img class="navIcons" src="http://lifeview.michiganweb.org/img/icons/account.png" />Account</li>
<li><img class="navIcons" src="http://lifeview.michiganweb.org/img/icons/support.png" />Support</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="lvpLogo"><strong>LifeView</strong> Portal</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="subNav">
<span class="loginName">Doctor Brian Town</span>

When using float, you need to clear, so the folllowing elements to look right. I have added here: https://jsfiddle.net/44x11g34/ an example.
What i had added between the 2 main blocks:
<div class="clear"></div>
and some small css
.clear {
clear: both;
}
Hope this will help you.

Looking for a way to position block elements in a line, but design falls apart at 25% zoom

I am designing a page, and run into a problem, I can not solve on my own. On zooming out, the items in the header are moving vertically, at 25%, the elements are in completely wrong position.
I am using block display, because i want the menu items to move to the center on zoomout(like on facebook, twitter or here), so inline and inline-block not solving my problem.
Same reason on relative positioning.
Is there another way to achive the same effect instead of relative positioning?
Any ideas how to make it right?
Cheers
Andrew

I think you might be over complicating this a little bit. you shouldn't need to use position:absolute;. You should use ul li elements for your menu instead. You can set #wrapper to the size of your page and use margin:0px auto to center it.
Let me know if this looks like what you're trying to do: http://jsfiddle.net/gxwxk3zv/

Vertically Aligning link in Navigation Menus

I was just wondering how to align links in a navigation menu in the middle vertically, as I have tried vertical align and it is not working and have searched stack overflow and have found no answers.
Note: the navmenu usually goes the full length of the page and the link are at the top, not in the middle.
Here is the fiddle
Here is the code:

There are a few way this can be achieved, one way is to create an invisible inline-block element with 100% height which the navigation is vertically aligned to. Change your CSS in the following way:
.left{
position: fixed;
float: left;
margin-top: 5px;
width: 30%;
height: 100%;
background-color: red;
margin-bottom: 10px;
border-radius: 10px;
border: 4px solid white;
font-size: 0;
}
Font size is set to 0 to remove white space.
.left:after {
content: "";
display: inline-block;
height: 100%;
vertical-align: middle;
width: 0;
}
The :after pseudo-element is used to create the invisible element.
.navmenu{
display: inline-block;
font-size: 16px;
list-style-type: none;
width: 100%;
}
The menu is then set to be inline-block and the font-size set to offset the zeroed font size in the parent element.
http://jsfiddle.net/D7V7p/
here you are:
http://jsfiddle.net/J7P2c/
just add the following code:
.left {
display:table;
}
.navmenu{
display:table-cell;
vertical-align:middle;
}
Update: updated fiddle,
although on firefox it worked fine, on chrome there seemed to be some kind of error produced by the height of the li, so remove the following:
.navmenu li{
height: 20%;
}

Unwanted space on left side of div

There is an unwanted gap between the left side of my div and the actual content inside of it (text, images). I have margin and padding both set to 0px for the class. The div is also right next to my nav bar, which may be somehow affecting the spacing.
body
{
background-color: #f5f5f7;
background-image: url("../img/powder.png");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: right bottom;
font-family: 'Lora', serif;
padding: 0px;
}
.main /* the extra space is occuring in this class */
{
position: relative;
left: 200px;
width: 800px;
height: 400px;
text-align: left;
border-radius: 10px;
padding-left: 0px;
margin: 0px;
background-color: rgba(207, 207, 207, 0.5);
}
nav ul
{
background: #efefef;

box-shadow: 0px 0px 9px rgba(0,0,0,0.15);
padding: 0px 20px;
border-radius: 10px;
list-style: none;
/* display: inline-table;*/
margin: 0px;
}
nav ul li:hover
{
background: linear-gradient(to right, #993300, #4C1A00); /*Standard syntax */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(left, #993300, #4C1A00);/* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */

background: -o-linear-gradient(left, #993300, #4C1A00); /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */
}
nav ul li:hover a

The live version of this is available at msu.edu/~bridsonc/henna
Make the div float like the menu.
.main {
float: left
/* change left:200px to margin-left:20px */
Maybe you could than add a padding-left of 10px
change the position of the div from relative to fixed:
.main /* the extra space is occuring in this class */
{
position: fixed;

Zoom error DOES NOT in occur in Internet Explorer, but DOES occur in every other browser I’ve tested

While checking over something else on my college’s website, it noticed that zooming in and out of our website’s pages makes a small gap appear between the header and the main content on certain zoom levels. We mostly test for IE compatibility since that’s what a majority of our visitors use, and when I zoom in and out in IE 9, the gap never appears. In the current versions of Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera, the same “moving ” error occurs. It’s not a very bad bug, as it doesn’t affect readability of the site too severely, but it’s something I’d like to eliminate if possible.
What I’ve tried already:
Making the that appears to be moving, “content”, a fixed width
Giving “content” a fixed position Giving the inside “content”, “canvas”, a fixed position
Changing the z-indexes on “content” and “canvas” each
Not setting a position for the header
Removing a of class “clear” between s “ct100_header” and “content” (it just makes the error more extreme)

Looks like the white gap is the menu items wrapping. The text is white so you just can't see them doing it.
Add this style to sw_layout.css
.main-menu {
width: 100%;
height: 40px;
font-family: Arial;
overflow: hidden;
}
While this will get you pointed/repointed in a reasonable direction, the wrapping of menu items in this way could be considered a design limitation, where the content managers need to work within the limitations of their site's design, or the design should change to suite their needs.
If you want, give width: 101%; a try.
