How to set div height in 1st coding


why are you using 2 body tags??????????????
add < befor div tag


In first piece of code you have:
div class="Footer"></div>
which should be:
<div class="Footer"></div>
You also do not have a doctype set for your first example. I would suggest adding something like:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">


<body>
div class="Footer"></div>
</body>
You can add < before div tag

Dreamweaver won't read the first css group of codes

I am having a slight difficulty with my Dreamweaver and CSS... Here is the code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<link href="myCss.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />\
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<p id="paragraph">welcome!</p>
<button id="button"> Click here </button>
</body>
</html>
Here is my css codes
#charset "utf-8";
<style type="text/css">
#button{
font-style:italic;
font-color:red;}
#paragraph{
font-style:italic;}
</style>
My question is why is my #paragraph working and #button isn't working ?

Remove that charset declaration before your style tag, also change font-color to just color

<p id="paragraph">welcome!</p>
<button id="button"> Click here </button>
Here is my css codes
<style type="text/css">
#button{
font-style:italic;
color:red;}
#paragraph{
font-style:italic;}
</style>

How can I deal with the collapsed parent?

The parent collapses when I do not specify a height..
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css" >
#parent{width:500px;border:#000 thin groove}
#parent p{float:left}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="parent">
<p height="100px" width="100px">text</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Add overflow: hidden to your #parent div
