I have a number of width: 100%; divisions as part of my HTML page, however when I zoom in on the page or view on a low resolutions such that some of the content goes past the horizontal limit of the screen (and hence a horizontal scrollbar appears), I find that scrolling to the right results in my 100% width division cutting off.
This effect is demonstrated below:
The same happens with this web page, here on Stack Overflow. If you zoom in using FF5.0, the footer and headers are "cut" when you scroll right. This is because the content div has to overflow on the right.
I think you want to avoid having overflows on the side (it's not aesthetically pleasing, and it's harder to navigate through the page).
A solution could be to not have divs that have a minimal width (eg 960px for the div#content of this web page), but rather are variable (50%). If you zoom in, width=50% will stay 50%, it will not overflow.
PS: but it might be better to have some JavaScript code to do the zoom for you, so that you can more or less control what the end-user sees when they click on the zoom button that you'd provide, on the page.

I've made rock paper scrissor game using html,css and js.When window is resized to small, some left portion of the page disappears .Using horizontal scrollbar i can scroll to right but not left.
I've checked for absolute positionings and negative margin but none worked.
What should i try ?
I expect to get entire page without any portion getting clipped off.
Hard to answer this without the code, but I would use devtools first to see what margins are being applied. You can look at the box model for each element in your dom and see what is being applied. Also, how small are you resizing? Do you have any explicit widths? If you are sizing down to 200px, but you have a div that is 250px, it clearly is going to have overflow. Devtools can also help with analyzing different devices too. Use the tool to set a size and see how your page responds, you can change the width of elements in the devtools to see if it removes the overflow.
I have centered a div on a page for a group project and while the div itself is centered, the websites contents are centered with the scroll bar in mind. What I mean by this is that the web page contents are centered so that the width of the screen is measured without the scroll bars width. So if the monitor was originally 100px wide, it gets read as 100-(scroll bar width) px wide. Unfortunately, this has caused my fixed position div to be a scroll bars width off center from the rest of the site and it looks pretty funky. Any way to fix that? Can't use jquery, can potentially use a little bit of JS.
Here's the link to my site so you can see what I'm talking about. http://51713941.nhd.weebly.com/index.html
Lets see some code.
This can normally be sorted out with css. Margin:auto
You should use the box model concept in css to style and place the content on the site
Again, the question seems rather vague.
If you view this HTML css site in either 1024x768 resolution or on a mobile device, the content that extends vertically beyond the browser is hidden and there is no vert scrollbar to do so. Is there any way to force it?

On Apple OS, scroll bars are never shown anymore. I often find this a nuisance also, but I guess MacOS/iOS users are used to this. You could make some flyover indication with JavaScript using scroll height and scrollposition, but I guess you're better consistently using a pagefooter. This way the user 'feels' there is still content.
Another way to achieve this is only the upper half of the last displayed line of text is displayed (through JavaScript). The same effect is reached by displaying a rectangle with increasing opacity (0 to 100%) over the bottom of the viewport that makes the bottom of the viewport seem to fade out. If you make sure the page's bottom padding is equal or greater than the gradient, you have a nice indication of continuation, and the good thing is you can do with pure HTML and css.
I'm pretty sure the question has been asked and answered, I don't know HTML and CSS well enough to know where or how to search. Any help would be appreciated.

Having finally decided to give Microsoft the chuck I'm rewriting it from scratch. 90% of is pretty easy. I'm struggling with the HTML and CSS to accomplish the chat portion of the app.
I've marked up a screen shot to show what I'm trying to do.
The main goal is to create a scrollable container that expands and contracts to fit the available space.
First I want to have the web page expand or contract to fit in the browser window.
Second Right column expands horizontally to fit the content and the bottom area expands vertically to fit the chat entry controls.
Once the page is fit to the browser and the space is committed to the right and bottom, i want the container to fit. If the content in the container is too much (99% of the time it will be), then vertical scroll bar will display.
I have tried all kinds of combination of width/height: 100%. But that just seems to make the areas big enough to fit the content, not constrain to a 100% of the browser.
I can set the div to "Height: 200%; Overflow: Scroll" to get the scroll bars. But I just don't seem to be able to get the div to expand only to the available space.
First I want to have the web page expand or contract to fit in the browser window.
This can be achieved by setting the margin left and right to auto. Try this -
.center {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
float: none;
}
The answer is: There really isnt a good answer. Resorting to java script resize event to set the hight of the box based on screen room - heights of screen elements.
I Have a problem with the zoom in on my site, it happens on both IE and Firefox. When I try to zoom in, the X-axis scroller appears at the bottom but the footer area (#content) doesn't show up across the screen when you scroll side ways.

Thanks in advance
The actual problem is not with you footer, but with your banner. You assigned a fixed size here (1000px) which in zoom causes header menu overflow 100% width of pages. One solution would be to make banner with 100% dimension instead of absolute pixels (you might need to rewrite dimensions of inside elements for banner as well). Same for #btm_edge
