As I am transitioning from using template layouts to writing my own css scripts, I have run into many issues, but there's one preventing me from continuing. I have successfully created a 3 column layout with floating divs, however upon browser re-size the right column overlays the middle div. I have imported the script found on Div sections shifts when i resize the window with no success. Basically I want the layout to behave like the current one, at http://www.allstarselectric.com , but using %. I am using % for cross resolution support, so is there a workaround/solution, or are pixels absolutely necessary? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In your CSS, you have a fixed width set for .chromestyle ul. Change that width to a %, and that should fix your problem.
The first answer to the article you linked provides you with the most reasonable solution: "You can wrap around the two divs with another div of a minimum width you want the page to be viewed in." There isn't much point in trying to fit a page to a 320x240 browser; scroll bars can't be avoided in that kind of resolution.
Something like this
.foowrap { min-width: 550px; width: 100%; overflow:auto; }
.foo { width:30%; float:left; }
<div class="foowrap">
<div class="foo">bar</div>
<div class="foo">baz</div>
<div class="foo">bum</div>
</div>
Then make sure that the total minimum width of the divs inside (class foo in the example) is not more than the min-width you set. Watch out for borders especially.
By the way, you have two </body> and you're using <center>, both of which are things you should avoid. This bit doesn't make much sense either: <br><tr>text/other</br></tr>

So far, I have managed to get my footer to always stick to the bottom, however, I have been struggling to get the content or images on my webpage to push the footer down. I have been trying absolute, fixed, relative positions for the footer but to no avail as the content in the class "container2" continues to go under the footer. It also shouldn't be sticky footer similar to the nav bar but like a natural footer where it is pushed down by content.

First off, I am a bit confused why you are using the <br> tag so much, but it almost looks like you are trying to space the elements with them. You may want to use padding or margin to do that.
Lastly, I think what you are looking for is position: fixed. Try this:
footer {
width:100%;
position: fixed; /* use fixed instead of absolute */
bottom: 0; /* set bottom to 0 */
height:300px;
font-size: 15px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
text-align:center;
background-color:black;
border-width: 10px;
color: white;
}
You have several problems in your css. The main problem for your content not to appear is that you're using overflow: hidden; in container2 and height: 1000px; this causes everything that exceeds 1000px won't be show. Try removing overflow: hidden or overflow: x-scroll.
This is the documentation for the overflow property, I suggest you read it for a better understanding of your problem. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/overflow
There are some things that you should change 1. you are using absolute position outside relative 2. using absolute values for hight is not good practice 3. is always better use padding and margin to make space ect. Keep fixed position only for header nav and comment out all fixed hight values(px)and absolute and relative positioning to start with. Absolute position should be inside relative if there is not special reason not to do that. To get out from main problem start with footer and container2. But there is lot more to fix.
You need set a min-height for html, body {min-height: 100vh;}
Set footer as position: fixed; bottom: 0; left: 0;
Hopefully this will help you.
I have multiple images that take up the entire screen and auto resize (positioned absolutely and some JavaScript) however for the life of me I can not get content to be placed UNDER that div. I put the images in a div container and that div is positioned relative to every other one. The div with the necessary content is relative as well. The images are absolute within a relative div. Can someone take a look at my code and let me know exactly whats going on? I just can't figure it out, and after all the research I have done I do not see why it isn't working. Thank You! Below is the external style sheet and the HTML. I believe the issue is within the actual HTML for div cycler (where the images are), because I embedded the style within the HTML for that div and the content at least does fall under the top divs (defined in style sheet).

Do you needed this, '#cycler img{position:absolute}'.
If you remove the absolute position of the 'img' tag in the cycler div, the text will go down as you needed.
#cycler img{z-index:1;width: 100%; max-width: 5472px;min-width: 359px; height: auto;; text-align: center;box-shadow: 3px 2px 6px #333333; float:left}
This will do.
To know about absolute position this is a good short answer.
position: absolute;
This tells the browser that whatever is going to be positioned should be removed from the normal flow of the document and will be placed in an exact location on the page. It won't affect how the elements before it or after it in the HTML are positioned on the Web page however it will be subject to it's parents' positioning unless you override it.
I'm new to creating websites and can't seem to find out why the alignment of my website doesn't work properly.
On all three of my computer monitors, the website looks fine:
http://www.spectanium.com
But I looked at it on my one friends computer and it looked wrong.
I have a main body and then space on both the right and left, but depending on the monitor I use, there has been varying space and it looks bad...
Can anyone take a look at my code and see what I'm doing wrong?

This is how it's displaying to me, running on 1920x1080.

Problem is your backgorund. It's set to repeat-y but the width it's 1450, so it will repeat-y but won't extend further than that.
Also it'll look a bit to the left because you set all the margins in pixels, like the header:
4px 0 4px 300px .
So no matter what it'll be pushed from the left to the right of 300px. If my resolution is high it'll show a huge gap on the RIGHT side of the page.
This is because you are using margin-left to align the whole website so when it scales up it is still aligned to the left. Use margin: 0 auto; to center your website. If you want the website to stay aligned to the left like it currently is however then use a percentage instead. You probably should also set a background color or having a repeating background to avoid the black background when the page is wider than your background image.
Try this.
body{
background-position-x:center;
}
body > div{
margin:auto !important;
}
Now the content is centered I assure you. But it won't feel centered as the blackened area in the background-image you are using is not centered horizontally. You can see the green line is longer than the red line. Correct that and you're good to go.
My suggestion is that you use an image on background which doesn't have blackened area and achieve that by css
You have specified a absolute margin-left which is causing the problem.
I changed some parts of your css file and it works fine for me.
basically replace absolute margins with
margin-left:auto
margin-right:auto
Changes in default.css

I'm very new to all of this and am trying to build this website, but the main image on the page is not centering. I've tried all sorts of centering things but they don't work. Also, the width percentage is ignored too.
I've readjusted margin/padding to 0. don't know what it could be.
css for the picture:
#pictures img{
width:"70%";
margin: 0 auto;
padding-bottom: 80px;
padding-top: 20px;
}
and the html div that has to do with it:
<div id="pictures">
<img src="img/homepage.png" alt="HomePage"></div>

Put display: block; on it. By default, images are inline.
To center inline —default for image— or inline-block elements, just center it as text. This means, you will need to use text-algin on the parent element:
div#pictures {
text-align: center;
}
The other solution is the one from #One Trick Pony, and display the image as a block element and just then apply the automatic margin.
#pictures img{
display:block;
}
Add this code then i will be centered
i know this is an old post, but wanted to share how i solved the same problem.
My image was inheriting a float:left from a parent class. By setting float:none I was able to make margin:0 auto and display: block work properly. Hope it may help someone in the future.
You have two options:
Remove img from #pictures and then put the image inside that div.
Add the #pictures to the image Tag in html (inline style).
You might remove the display tag in #pictures.
Good luck with that.
I have been recently designing some content which needs to be side by side and have the height automatically resize, but the height doesn't resize. The div doesn't expand to the size of the items inside of it. Is there a way to allow the div to expand to the size of the elements inside of it?

Looks like the problem is that the #footer element isn't properly cleared. Add clear: both; to #footer. This pushes the cleared element below the floated elements, and should functionally result in the same visual fix.
The "container div" basically "forgets" that it is the container for them, so simply add an overflow:auto; to make it remember.
I also tend to add zoom:1 for IE.
The problem is that you are floating elements, and that causes problems with wrapping divs per default (pretty much...).
Here is a working solution, where overflow:hidden is added to the wrapping div: http://jsfiddle.net/s2dxw/2/
The float issue is pretty confusing, and has had a couple of solutions in the past. Here's a good read regarding floats in HTML: http://css-tricks.com/all-about-floats/
Alternatively, you can put some element with the rule clear: both; inside and at the end of the wrapping div.
