CSS/HTML column height issue - html

Can anybody take a look at the website I designed http://www.ensorbuilding.com - in Google Chrome.
The middle column almost always overlaps the left and right.
I am using the jquery auto heigh which should set the height of the left,middle and right columns automatically but it doesn't seem to be doing it correctly!
Any thoughts?
Thanks :)

Try adding some margins to the <aside>s and the <section id="content"> elements.

Section becomes scrollable on Safari

I don't know why, but only on Safari a section of a webpage I am working on becomes scrollable.
It is the only section which happens and it's the only browser on which this occurs.
Can anyone help me figure this one out?
Link to the webpage, if you want to inspect the code: http://sistemecreative.ro/demo-istoma/
I decided, as a workaround, to make both the left and right divs and their wrapper the same height using a fixed value.

CSS: Scrollbar pushes my site-header, but not my css-inner, and it results in uneven widths

Just click any post to see what I mean, here's
I want to either:
1.make whole site pushable by scrollbar, so header and body have even widths
or
2.make whole site not pushable by scrollbar.
How can I do that? Maybe its because my header is 100% of width, while my body is fixed value (i think it is, dont remember).
Any help appreciated, ive been working on this website css for 2 weeks and my brain already wanted to give up
thanks #TheFrozenOne yeah that was it. i thought i added padding on post pages as well (and i did) but i added it to wrong div.
I fixed it already.
PS, sorry for not providing code.

Text outside div in Safari only

I have this bug that let some text appear a few pixels outside a div on the right side. The strange thing is that it only happens in Safari. I've never seen it before and it's just regular HTML/CSS what I have used. I've looked around on the internet but I can't find the exact same problem - only some problems with content floating out at the bottom, because of a fixed height.
In the next 2 screenshots you'll see the same page in Safari and Chrome. The div has a overlow:hidden to hide a possible third line of text. I added fixed widths when trying to solve the problem. I also tried to add/remove some margins, but I can't get rid of the extra pixels.
Here is a full link to this page. It happens in this section of the website only. In other sections - like this one - where I use the same format with little differences, but the same CSS idea (fixed width with overflow:hidden), there is no bug in Safari.
I hope you have some ideas!
Removing position:absolute from
div#branch-search-results-block div.search-result-right div.search-result-drvl-info-bottom .spacer::after
css style solves the issue. But I am not sure what else is affected by it. Please try this.

Fixed div at the bottom

I'm learning HTML & CSS, and I'm having an issue.
My page is already built : a header, some blocks, a footer. Very simple, I'm a beginner.
I'd like the footer to stay fixed on the bottom until it reaches a limit situated 50px under the last block (if we scale the viewport). Then it should just stay there like a normal block... But I can't figure out how to make it happen!
Could you help me, please?
By the way, I speak French : if something isn't clear enough, please tell me and I'll try to explain.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Adrien.
There are many different ways to handle this with purely CSS.
Firstly Twitter Bootstrap has a nice means of doing this. Link is here
Or you could use the CSS Sticky Footer See here
The key is to create a negative bottom margin in the main container, using the exact height you want your footer to be.
I hope this helps.

CSS Stretching sidebar to 100% of page. Breaks when window resized or content too large

Been struggling with this for at least a couple hours now. Tried searching around but no solution seems to be working. So anyways, I have a template that I'm working on, and the issue that I'm having is that the sidebar on the left just will not stretch all the way down! If the window is maximized, it looks totally fine. Once you resize the window though it breaks, leaving a large gap between the sidebar and the footer. It also breaks if the content goes down the page any more than it currently does...
See for yourself here: http://bakedcraft.ca/laboratory/testsites/crock/template.html
and the css: http://bakedcraft.ca/laboratory/testsites/crock/css/default.css
Any ideas?
Add position:relative to your .main class
right now your side bar is 100% height of the window, not the main container. by adding position:relative to the sidebar's parent, when the sidebar is 100% height, it becomes 100% of the main div.
Sorry, this isn't really an answer but it's not letting me write a comment...
I looked at your code in firebug (firefox + web developer add-on) and it's showing a box constraint of 467px height I tried to quickly find where this 467px are coming from but can't see it with quick look (it's 4 AM). It's inheriting that height from somewhere, most likely from a combination of other size constraints of related elements. With all the positioning you have going on, in may be hard to locate.
One suggestion I have is if you plan on making a fluid layout you should work with em's rather than straight pixels. As I said, this isn't an answer but I did notice the size constraint of your sidebar. If this problem is still open in the morning I'll see if I can get a better look at it for you.
Alright I was running your problem through my head and I think I figured it out. Forgive me cuz I'm typing this on my phone and can't use firebug to verify if I'm right or not but the constraint I noticed earlier of 467px is n't inherited from another container it's being constained by the text in the sidebar div. If u were to add more text the box will grow with it. I believe what u may want to do is make a child conatiner within the side bar div. Your main sidebar div will only house your grey background color grey. Create a child div within the sidebar div and put your text and images into those. Make sure on the parent div you make it's height 100%. The height of the elements inside the child div shouldn't need height specifications since they will be inherited from the parent sidebar div. Hope this makes sense.
You can do the fix mentioned earlier with using jquery but remember if someone shuts of their JavaScript then your issue remains and your page will break. You should try to find and fix the root cause not use a bandaid that can be taken off.
