On the website http://thornhillss.ca/pages.php?id=7 The footer looks fine in every browser. Yet in chrome it doesn't touch the bottom of the frame. Why is that. It should be a simple fix however I just dont know why it wont work.
*It should stick to the bottom of my div. Not my page.
This is because the div with the id "main2" isn't set to expand with the right-hand floated div. By default divs won't expand to fit floated child elements, so you need to tell it to hide overflow (which will tell it to expand to fit all child elements as long as you don't also give it a fixed height):
#main2 {
width: 860px;
margin-top: 15px;
margin-left: 20px;
margin-right: 20px;
position: relative;
overflow:hidden;
}
You're p.clear class has a margin on it as you're not using a reset.
If you add margin:0 to your .clear styles the margin goes away and it displays how you want it to.
This is what you are looking for it works and is awesome sticky footer

I'm trying to implement a popover for language selection, but encounter two problems:
1) The popover is hidden above the footer when I apply position: absolute; to the footer.
2) The popover sticks to the right side of my page. I would like a margin there, but margin-right doesn't seem to have effect.
Here's a jsfiddle.
Note: this might not be the case with newer versions of bootstrap, but I'm using this one in the rest of my site and migration to a newer version is out of scope for now...
EDIT: I fixed the first problem by adding {container: 'body'} to the tooltip. Second one still open...
EDIT 2: I managed to add a margin on the right by using:
.popover
{
right: 10px !important;
left: auto !important;
}
The only problem now is that the arrow isn't centered with the text beneath the arrow anymore... any tips?
One way to accomplish this is by adding a fixed position position:fixed; right:40px; to your #wrapper. This will allow you to adjust your position to the left and or right. However, if you attempt to adjust top or bottom it will break out of its parent container and be relative to the document. Therefore, if you need to make adjustments to top or bottom use margins.
#wrapper{
min-height: 50px;
max-height: 100px;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
position:fixed;
right:40px;
}
I am trying to position a footer under #cont, but inside the #container.
I tried making it so that when there is more content in #content, it would keep the footer inside the div, and allow me to scroll the page, but I got lost. Any idea how I should do it?

As you can see, more content will push it down(because it's not inside the other div, but if it's not inside, I can't set the footer to always be on the bottom of the page)
You can change the floating elements to display: inline-block, so you have more control over them and the container will adapt to their height.
#footer {
background-color:#FFA500;
text-align:center;
max-width:960px;
width: 100%;
}

EDIT:
In general, I'd really like to advice you against the use of floating elements for layout, as they were pushed beyond they original intended use from the very beginning, and now we have flex who does magic :)

If I understood what you want to achieve correctly, than this is one way to do it:
http://jsfiddle.net/a9jv7/1/
On #container add:
border-bottom:30px solid transparent; // used to add spacing bottom
margin-bottom:-30px; // used to add spacing bottom
overflow:hidden; // to give the container height, because it has none since the elements inside it are float-ed; (google clear-float).
I have two divs inside a main container. One is floating left (youtube video), and the other one on the right (soundcloud player).
When I zoom in (110%) the div container on the right collapses underneath, onto the next line.
How can I stop this from happening? Am I missing something in the CSS?
.youtube {
float: left;
width: 640px;
height: 360px;
}
.maincontainer {
position:relative;
margin-top: 1%;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
max-width: 1900px;
height: 1000px;
padding-right: 10px;
padding-left: 10px;
}
.soundcloud {
float:right;
height:388px;
width:580px;
padding-right:50px;
}

Thanks!
EDIT: Figured it out. I was using "max-width" in the .maincontainer div. I changed it and used "width" instead and now the soundcloud player doesn't drop down to the next line anymore. So that's solved.
This leads me to another question though: how am I supposed to know whether to use % or px to define the dimensions of a div? People have given me conflicting answers and it just confuses me...
I personally found that using pixels helps the boxes to stay in place and not drift apart when zooming in or zooming out..
Add a CSS Reset, which involves putting:
* {
margin:0;
padding 0;
}
at the top of your CSS file. This resets all margins and padding.
If that doesn't work try making the div that contains the whole middle section of the site (The youtube video and text and the soundcloud box), I think you've called it main container, a little bigger. Add maybe 10-15 pixels to the width. It could be running out of space.
Hope this helps. Next time try posting a little more info and in particular some code :)
At cjshayward.com/index_new.html, there is a wrapper div around the body's content, about 1000 pixels wide, and it works as intended for the top 100 or so pixels in Chrome and Firefox. Next down the page is a jQuery UI set of tabs, containing a fixed-width accordion and something close to jQuery.load()ed plain old, simple HTML.
However, on the "Browse the Library" tab (but not "About the Author"), which is presently open and which contains the fixed-width accordion, below 100 or 150px down, the area under the tabs appears to have the same width as the window; it has the correct left margin, and horizontally scrolls an apparently equal distance to the right. Furthermore, the body background tile does not display; the whole width is white, as was specified for the wrapper div's interior.
How can I get the "Browse the Library" tab to display as intended (like the "About the Author" tab does)?
Thanks,
You're absolutely positioning way too much and that's ruining the flow of things. I'll go through a list of edits you can do to make this work.
/*
#accordion and #details will be floated, so we'll need to
clear #tabs. Add this property.
*/
#tabs {
overflow: hidden;
}
/*
Remove the absolute positioning from #accordion, along
with the top and left properties and do this instead.
*/
#accordion {
float: left;
width: 400px; /* This already exists */
margin: 0 10px 0 0;
}
/*
Remove the absolute positioning from #details, along
with the top and left properties and do this instead.
*/
#details {
float: left;
width: 580px;
}
This will get you a lot closer. You should also try to avoid using height on these elements. Let the content dictate the height.
Here is what i ended up with making those edits: http://i.imgur.com/niizuoR.png
Okay lets make a step by step solution (watch for the edits).
Background
Your background is set in the body. So the body needs to be extended to fill the whole page.
I would recommend this way but there are others.
body,html{
height:100%;
}
Normally the body would fit its contents but with position:absolute this mechanism doesnt work anymore.
Also remove background: #fff css (normalize.css) from the html.
html {
background: #fff;
color: #000;
font-size: 100%;
-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;
-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;
}
Also your background scrolls with your content. Set background-atachment: fixed to change this.
Wrapper
Same counts dor your wrapper which holds the white background.
Set its height to 100% too.
div#main {
height: 100%;
}
The reason why your content is bigger than your wrapper is that
<div id="details" style="width: 713px; height: 0px;">
this div holding the content has a fixed size set. Removing that size make it fit the wrapper.
The width seems to be set per javascript in the load event, so I cant help you with that. Provide your .js code and may i can help you with that too.
As stated in the comments, your layout issues are based in your use of absolute positioning rather than flow layout:
I went through your site and quickly switch everything so it was positioned statically (width floats, not absolute values) and this cleared up the issue. There were some other issues as well. You probably need to look over how you are setting up your HTML from the top level on.
I would start out again and concentrate on using floats for your layout, rather than absolute positioning.
For a basic example on doing so, here is a super simply page: http://cdpn.io/kmCFy
I'm trying to add a content rotator to a site I'm building. The rotator works fine. In fact, it works out better than I had hoped. I need to tweak some styling things, but that's besides the point.
For some reason, the rotator (which is relatively positioned and inside my container/wrapper div) pulls my wrapper and menu down with it when I add a margin to the top of it (margin:65px auto 0; or something like that). Any words of advice?

This sounds like a classic case of collapsing margins.
You can fix this by giving the container a border-top, margin-top, padding-top, or an overflow other than visible. (jsFiddle)
you can probably accomplish what you want by giving #wrapper top padding instead giving #slideshow top margin.
I run into this problem a lot when I put elements inside of inline elements. You should be able to fix it by doing one of the following:
Set the element you're having trouble with to display: block; (Usually a good enough fix)
Use top-padding like already suggested (nothing wrong with using band-aids if it works...)
Set the element to float: left; (Not really recommended, can cause some problems down the line, but will definitely allow you to add top and bottom margins)
How about this?
#menu {
position: relative;
width: auto;
height: 100px;
left: 383px;
top: 0px;
}
