Here is the issue. if you look at the screen shot below. The border of "Live gaming from tekgoblin" is bleeding into the ad code above the border. I am not sure why as it only happens with that part. I have tried and tried to fix this and am looking for others input. Looks fine in IE but not FFox or Chrome.

you can look at www.tekgoblin.com and you will see this.
Remove to one properties in your css as like this:
div.bsap_1250066 a {
float:left; // remove this line
}
because you have allready define display:block;.
I am not sure without further study, but your ad doesn't have a height and aslong as its always going to be the same height, you could set the below to fix the problem. If you don't have access to the CSS, then just place it in your local CSS to overwrite, and if that doesn't work assign !important; to the height to overwrite the externally imported css creating issues for you.
div.bsap_1250066 {
display: block;
height: 245px;
width: 100%;
}
Or you could define a fixed height for your h4, achieving the same but not having static ad heights. It really depends on how this effects your site globally, there are many fixes open to you.

I have made a complete Bootstrap grid system. I am now uploading my code to a CMS system, and can see there is some CSS from the backend, there is messing up my grid.
If I untick the following code in the inspector window, everything is looking perfect. When the following code is ticked in the inspector window everything is messed up. Is it possible to overwrite this code somehow, so the class is not used?
.cms-area img {
width: 100%;
}
You can use !important in such cases but use it sparingly. Best is to remove the unwanted code and not use !important. !important might cause issues later that are difficult to debug. If possible include your css after other css is included in the code. In CSS, rules that appear later take precedence over earlier rules
Edit:
Set width to auto instead of 100% to fix your alignment issue
Below given is the ideal way to manage css since it allows you to attribute your style content and lets you override the style already applied elsewhere.
.cms-area .your-class img {
width: <your choice>;
}
I've created a codepen for this, but the issue is basically beneath my YouTube embed there's a margin (Seperating the footer from the page) and I don't understand why, I'm still learning when it comes to web development, so I'll be grateful for any explanations.

Links to codepen must be accompanied by code,
but it's all on codepen, considering there's not much.
It's because an iframe element is inline by default. The reason you are seeing whitespace below the iframe is because inline elements are aligned this way so that there is reserved space below the element for letters such as p, y, q.
You could either change the display of the iframe element to block: (example)
iframe {
display: block;
}
..or you could change the value of the vertical-align property to something other than the default value of baseline. In this case, a value of top would work: (example)
iframe {
vertical-align: top;
}
You can still use what you have, if you edit your CSS and change this code:
#body_wrapper footer {
margin-top: -6px;
}
Not exactly a professional way to do things as you will see the comments i shall get for it but it does fix your problem at hand.
I'm putting a floating picture on my friends blog real quick, but changing the margin values doesn't do anything.
#pic{
z-index:9999999999999999;
position:fixed;
width:200px;
background-color: transparent;}
And the structure:
<div style="margin-bottom:0px;" id="pic" ><img src="{image:Sidepicture}" style="width:200px;"</a></div>
When I change the margin values, the picture stays at the top left hand corner no matter what I do.
The culprit is likely position: fixed;
#pic{
z-index:9999999999999999;
position:fixed;
width:200px;
background-color: transparent;}
Is this all the code there is for pic? It seems that #pic is stuck to top: 0, left: 0
Try just removing the position: fixed line entirely and see what happens
If doesn't work out, also try adding position:relative;
Because you should be putting the margin on the <img />, not on the <div> surrounding the image (#pic).
#pic img { margin: 20px; }
... will do what you want it to.
The very least you should have done is validate that your HTML and CSS are actually valid. There are many errors in the code and style that you supplied. Unclosed Tags, Closed tags, Unmatched elements, styles without contents, invalid styles, Incorrect declarations and so on.
Its also a bit of a jumbled mess, with interwoven styles and script and parts of reset scripts towards the end, all sprinkled through with optional block and cycle contents, making helping you very difficult. Keeping your style separate from your code and grouping it into one block would help you narrow it down a bit as right now styles are all over the file, making it easy for anyone to miss the offending line.
I can only suggest that one of the later styles in your CSS after the style for img you are trying to apply. (somewhere after line 152) is overriding the margin that you are setting at 152. You can use the developer tools built into the browser and look at which styles are being applied to your element and which line in the file they come from. If your pix style is not applied then you will at least have an idea what other styles are and this will allow you to narrow down your investigation.
another way to find the offending line would be to to comment out the styles after line 152 and then comment them back in a few at a time, until you find the class causing the issue.
The quick and dirty fix is of course to put !important after your margin
You can also run your page through the CSS Validation and HTML validation to help you find any of the errors that may also be having an effect.
I have a problem in viewing my web app in mozilla.
In my web app I have a button whose css styles are as below:
.page_button
{
BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(../images/pagebutton_bg2.png);
BORDER-LEFT:0px;
/*WIDTH: 100%;*/
CURSOR: pointer;
/*COLOR: #000000;*/
BORDER-BOTTOM:0px;
}
As above I have commented out the "Width:100%"&"Color:#000000" attributes as they are causing problems in Mozilla Firefox.(The width100% option makes my buttons appear very small) -- so i commented them.
But the problem here is that this button is inheriting the same Color:#000000 & Width:100% from other parent elements.How can I stop this inheritance.
I even tried overriding those properties like : Color : null; Width : none ---> But this is not working.
I appreciate any suggestions to overcome this.
Regards,
Vijay
I don't know if I understand your problem correctly but if you want to prevent accidental inheritance you can try and use full paths...so instead of just .page_button you could use something like body.page_button though it is more probable that you should do that somewhere else in your code and not in the part you are displaying hope that helps...good luck!
width is not an inheritable property, so you must be applying the style width: 100% to your button using another selector.
If you don't already have Firebug, then I recommend installing it and using it. With Firebug, you can select any DOM element and trace back exactly how the values of all CSS properties on the element were calculated.
If the button is on a link element, then width will have no effect unless the link is set to display:block; or display:inline-block; . That could be having an unintended effect.
I also second the Firebug recommendation!
I have a two column layout, with a gray sidebar on the right. I need the sidebar's height to expand when the height of the left column is increased (due to content being dynamically expanded). I can make the sidebar fit a static page, but I cannot get it to increase in size with the rest of the page. Did some Googling, but couldn't find a work-around that worked for me.
Does anyone know how to do this?
This is a common problem when using DIVS for this type of layout.
If you google 'Faux column' you should get some answers.
eg. http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fauxcolumns/
This may be slightly off but if you use jQuery on your site you can perform a quick calculation and resize all DIVs sharing a similar class to the maximum height:
$('.elements').height(Math.max($('#div1').height(), $('#div2').height()));
I have been haunted by this problem for a while and I wrote an article about this issue: Done with faux columns. Here is what I argued:
JavaScript based solution for this
problem is not worse than any other
solution. In fact if you are using
JavaScript, you may save a few hours
of frustration of trying to get things
working. People will warn you against
this by saying “What will happen if
the user turned off JavaScript?“.
Believe me, if the user has turned off
JavaScript, most of the web is broken
for him anyway. Your sidebar does not
matter to him.
As cballou mentioned, the simplest way to do this thing is to use JQuery code:
$(".sidebar").height(Math.max($(".content").height(),$(".sidebar").height()));
I changed the background-color to the same color as my sidebar, on that specific page, although I do have backgrounds for all my sections rather than one overall background. But that might not work for everyone.
In my stylesheet,
.sidec
{
background-color:#123456;
}
In my HTML page,
<body class="sidec">
content....
</body>
I recently saw a quite creative solution to this problem using the CSS properties position:absolute and border.
Definitely worth checking out to see if it works for you.

I'm not sure if this will help, as I'm a newbie. However, when struggling with getting my sidebar to show the whole content when I doubled it's size I did the following. I was changing my height and width with no response until I changed the class. My class was listed SB frame SB width. So when I changed my class to read SB height SB width it fit to my content instead of the original frame size. I also tried SB max sb width with worked too, but it took out my footer menu bar (meaning it wouldn't show it anymore). I went back to SB height SB width, and all is well. That's super duper elementary for all of you I'm sure, but just in case there is another newbie reading this that doesn't understand much about html code like myself... I hope this helps =)
Happy Holidays Everyone!

I'm guessing you want to apply certain effect to your layout such that it will require both columns to resize together. If you want to dynamically change the values of the height of the columns, I doubt it will work simply with css unless you implement some javascript to control the style.
As Dal suggested, do look at the link on faux columns. As the name suggests, the solution isn't much about modifying the columns height. Instead, it gives the "illusion" that both columns appear to be of the same height when in reality they are not -- and is with the use of tiles of background image.
The idea is there isn't a need to complicate the mark-up. Simple structure with a touch of "illusion" with images is a common practice in web design.

With the poor attitude towards new members on here I expect to be barracked for this answer, here goes.
I got around this problem by creating a background image 960px wide 1px high with the two colors I needed for the columns in their respective widths (780px and 180px). I then used this as the background image for my container repeated on the y axis and made the content and the right sidebar background-color: transparent.
.container {
width: 960px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
margin: 0 auto;
background-image: url(../images/bgs/conbg.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
}
.sidebar1 {
float: right;
width: 180px;
height:auto;
background-color:transparent;
padding-bottom: 10px;
}
.content {
padding: 10px 0;
width: 780px;
background-color:transparent;
float: right;
}
I am sure that this method has its limitations but it works perfectly on all my pages.
It is possible that I have not explained this very well, if so, be nice about it will you please. I will endevour to expand on my method(which is probably already common knowledge).
