I found a simple web site design example using DIVs at the following link:
http://www.htmlgoodies.com/img/3_column.html
The problem with this design is that it is a fixed width. I need a design where the wrapper DIV expands to the full screen area (100% width) and the header, main and footer DIVs resize along with it.
If I set the wrapper and footer widths to 100% it does take up the full area on a maximized browser window but shortening the window causes the right and main DIVs to wrap downwards. How can this wrapping be prevented?
I'm not sure if this is the answer you are looking for but surly using float:right or float:left on the div that is wraping under another div should fix the problem?
I recommend looking into using fluid960gs
Cant be done, only one attribute for DIV, which is the align attribute. Maybe consider using tables: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp

I am making a header component and what I want to achieve is to make my header picture stretch to the full width of the webpage, even when it the browser shrinks, however when you shrink the browser the picture does not stretch 100% and is driving me insane. I don't want to remove the scroll-x property, so how can I fix this? What am I doing wrong? Here is is a picture of my issue:

And here is a codepen with my code:

So, as promised I found a solution.
Change display:flex from your parent div, to display: inline-block and remove width:100%. You div will have the size of your content, even when it overflows.
Setting the width to 100% will be relative to the parent, it was the body. However, the body didn't include the overflow.
I hope it works :)
PS: If you still need display:flex, create a child div, with flex attribute.
add this css
body{padding:0;margin:0}
Perhaps I'm the last developer to ask this but I don't get it:
I'm considering using a fixed width layout such as this one:
http://www.gridsystemgenerator.com/gs02.php
Based on the screen size the left and right columns resize dynamically while the middle grid stays fixed. Great!
Now what I don't understand is that there are ton of websites out that use this approach but they also have page sections which have borders and background images that fill the complete screen width.
An example:
http://www.gridsystemgenerator.com/gs02.php
The top strip, tab menu and footer sections have lines that extend out over the full screen width.
How do they do this?
Pavlo, thanks for the tip!
So it turns out that there are container divs which are width 100 and float left which can contain design elements across the whole page width. Then the fixed grid divs are embedded into the container divs.

I'm trying to stretch an image vertically in a parent container of my site (not the full body), it is the div with the id "imagen-fondo"
I have tried either backstretch plugin and also just css background-image with background-size to do it.
But the problem in both cases is that the calculated height of the parent container is smaller that the immediate child height, so, the background image looks smaller than the content itself.
How can I make it to be the same height as his immediate child or at least bigger?
You can see the live demo here:
http://50.21.181.12:3001/plantillas/mba
UPDATE:
I think the problem is that div#imagen-fondo is getting the height of the window and not of his content, that is the reason that when the screen is big, the problem doesn't happen, but when the height of the window is smaller than the content it happens, you can check it with this two screenshots, just as you start scrolling vertical the background image ends:
Something with overflows?
UPDATE 2:
For now I introduced some javascript to make it work,
Getting the footer offset position and stretching the height of the ".backstretch" div to that height.
But, if you resize the window to make the vertical scroll bar appear and inspect the page, you can still see that the parent container "#imagen-fondo" (from where backstretch should automatically get his height) is still getting the height of the visible viewport and not from the content itself.
If anyone finds a better way to do it CSS only will use that approach instead of this dirty one.
Clear floats in parent div using clear: both;
Or use clearfix on parent div.

I'm in the process of creating a responsive site (currently only working on the main content.)
I've created two floated divs with percentage based widths. One contains an image which resizes with the browser resizing. The image has a min-width of 100px.
Can anyone tell me why when put into a mobile sized width it doesn't drop down? How can I make the image stack underneath the text?
JS Fiddle
Live site
If you apply the:
min-width: 100px; to the aside element instead, then on a small screen it drops to the bottom. Good luck with the design. (Like this: http://jsfiddle.net/eddturtle/7d6D7/1/)
I've been trying to make a horizontal web page. However I don't want to keep setting the width to a certain width to accommodate the content that is floated is there a way to have the Div automatically re-size to the content that it contains? This way all the content is floated or "horizontally" scrolling? I'm using width:"specific size" but as soon as I have too much content it overflows is there a way to not have that happen and also where I don't have to specify a specific width size?
EDIT:
What I want is the whole website to be horizontally scrolling. I don't want just the specific div itself to have scrollbars, but I want the div to be able to adjust it's width to accommodate the content no matter if I have 3 divs within it or if I decide to add 6 divs later into the div.
For example what I want is like this. (Where even if I have more content it won't drop to the next line) I mean can this be achieved with css alone?) I specifically want that effect where the whole website is scrolling not just the div I don't know exactly if that website is doing that. Basically I want the whole website to scroll horizontally not just a scroll bar on the specific div itself.
For example vertically if you have more content you can keep scrolling down that is what I want, but I want that in a horizontal scroll of the website is that even possible?
Here is my code Jfiddle Code which is for tumblr but I want this for more than just tumblr. As I'm thinking of doing this for a regular website but where I manually will add more list items or Divs. I just want to see if there is a way to have the width adjust to the content so the floated content doesn't drop to the next line.
I think what you need is display: inline-block;
Like this: http://jsfiddle.net/ZDJbH/
Check this fiddle , is that what you need
div{
width:auto;
overflow:auto;
white-space:nowrap;
}
Set the css width property to auto
#yourDiv {width : auto;}
1.display:inline-block
2.float:left or float:right Because it will destroy line box.
3.position:absolute；（and without top, left or position:absolute) May be need to know information to use it.
