I have a 2 column layout that I'asked about earlier (Simple 2 column layout).
What I've noticed is that it's not the positioning of the content column on the right that's the problem, but rather it's the way the content in that column is positioned.
I've been looking for a while and I can't see where the problem is. It looks as though the content in the right column has padding on it equal to the height of the left column.
Here's my css:
#wrapper { margin-left: 100px; width: 1000px; border-left: 1px solid #bcbcc6; border-right: 1px solid #bcbcc6; border-bottom: 1px solid #bcbcc6; }
/* Main page content, puts actual content and sidebar side-by-side */
#sidebar { float: left; padding: 5px; width: 189px; border-right: 1px solid #b6bcc6; }
#content { padding: 0 !important; margin: 0 0 0 200px; width: 790px; background-color: #ff00ff; }
EDIT: To see what's actually going on, you can check out http://www.logansarchive.za.net/bad.jpg and http://www.logansarchive.za.net/firebug.jpg
I'm also going to add the page and style related files (stylesheet and images) as I have it so that you can inspect at your leisure:

Inside your <div id="content"> you have a table with clear: both in its CSS, and then 2 divs with clear: left and clear: right on them respectively, which are breaking your floats. Removing all those clear properties in Firebug fixed it for me on your test page.
"Use Firebug" is generally not regarded a valid answer on SO, but it really is the best way to identify mystery paddings. Install it in your Firefox, right-click the element, and Firebug's Layout view will show you where it comes from.
Have you tried making #content float:right

I have a layout that has a side menu bar and then the main content displayed on the right side. The layout and functionality work just fine except for one minor detail -
In some cases, there isnt enough content to fill the entire screen and when that happens the DIV containing the main content does not stretch and fill the remainder of the screen creating a visual difference as seen in the screenshot. I tried manipulating various attributes and putting in dummy content etc but could not find a clean solution. I am hoping someone can help. I am using Twitter Bootstrap 3.x
I have included the CSS for the main section, ideally, I would like this white background to fill the screen upto the footer.
/*
* Main content
*/
.main {
padding: 20px;
background-color: #fff;
border-left: 1px solid #dae3e9;
height: 100%;
box-shadow: -3px 3px 3px -2px #f1f1f3;
}
I have also created a fiddle with my code, the visual is a little messed up because the output is trapped inside a frame - but here it is anyway -
Dont use min-width: 100%; on your #wrap.
Basically solves the problem.
But i want the footer to still be at bottom etc...
Fiddle
Added:
.main::before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
z-index:-1;
display: block;
width: 100%;
margin-left: -20px;
height: 100vh;
border: 1px solid black;
background-color:white;
}
Suggestion: clean up your code. you don't need that much html code the design your doing. I't will be hell for any one who want to edit or change it at a later stage.
I have the following situation and a don't want to use JS for this:
There is a header (blue) then a div which might contain content (if not it should collapse completly) and then the body (gray).
Now I want to div with the green border left and right to fill the whole gap between the header and the body. The gap is caused by margin: 10px; on the div with the red border.
The only "solution" I have found so far is to set padding: 1px 0; to the div with the green border (see commented line in fiddle). Is there any better solution to force the div or the border to cover the whole height occupied by the child and collapse completly if there is no child?
I have no control over the content inside the div, so not using margin is not a solution.

I guess you are looking like this :- DEMO
Give the overflow:hidden to your banner class for achieving the desired result..
CSS
.banner {
border-left: 1px solid #008000;
border-right: 1px solid #008000;
overflow: hidden;
}
You can try using overflow: auto; property instead of using padding.
It will work.
Check it at Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/w5NW4/3/
.banner{
border-left: 1px solid green;
border-right: 1px solid green;
overflow: auto;
}
Another solution is to give padding: 10px; to .banner and removing margin: 10px; from the banner child element.
Working Fiddle
Also, try to avoid inline stylings.
Is there a way, when I have over lapping (touching) div's, to make the 1px border not become 2 pixels. And I know I could just put a border on 2 of the sides, but then the one edge of the div wouldn't have a border. By the way, I'm using jQuery Masonry.
yes the div on the right would look something like this
border: 1px solid #fff;
border-left: none;
the second border-left will override the left border that was just put on there
EDIT:
ok, since youre using jQuery masonary - do it like this
.container {
width:50px;
height:80px;
border:1px solid black;
margin-right: -1px;
margin-bottom: -1px;
}
the overlapping method I mentioned will work
Combining borders and margins (even with border-box) is tricky because your layout depends on the container width. It is better to add a child to the element positioned by Masonry and style that...
.container .post {
float: left;
width: 240px;
}
.container .text {
outline: 1px solid #999;
padding: 10px;
margin: 0 1px 1px 0;
}
outline allows the border to appear "outside" the div which makes them easier to overlap

Here is my site
Currently still fiddling around with design layout and there is one problem I can't quite solve.
On my header I have a red border-bottom to separate it from the main content. Likewise, on the footer I have a red top-border to do the same. Is there a way of extending the borders beyond the div (and consequently outside of the wrapper, with overflow visible) without it conflicting with the other elements? I want to configure the layout so it has more of a grid-like design.
#wrap {
width: 1000px;
background-color: #ffffff;
text-align:left;
margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
border-left: 1px solid #000000;
border-right: 1px solid #000000; }
#head{
background-color: #ffffff;
width: 1000px;
height: 159px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #ff0000; }
kind of like this?
Yes. You can set a negative margin, causing the div to extend outside of its parent, like this. (I only did the header, but you get the idea)
The solution in the fiddle uses the annoying !important to get the styling right - you might want to reorganize your CSS to get around this and make your code more maintainable, see this post.
Strangly enough, my website is rendering fine in Internet Explorer but fails in Mozilla based browsers.
Here is a screenshot:
Does anyone see why "right-panel" does not go all the way to the right? You can see how it is not lined up with the right edge of "top-panel":
#container
{
margin: 0 auto;
width: 750px;
background-color: #ffffff;
}
#top-panel
{
padding-left: 10px;
background-color: #000000;
text-align: left;
width: 100%;
height: 88px;
}
#left-panel
{
padding-top: 10px;
text-align: center;
background-color: #ffffff;
border-right: 1px dashed #000000;
float: left;
width: 250px;
}
#right-panel
{
background-color: #ffffff;
float: right;
width: 449px;
}
.clear
{
clear:both;
line-height:0;
}
If anyone wants to see the actual site it is: Math Relay
When you apply width:100% and use padding-left:10px also, it computes the width first, and then applies the padding, so actually your #top_panel CSS declaration is the problem. Try setting it to a fixed width for that.
it is the padding-left:10px; in the #top-panel
Set that to 0 and you'll see them line up.
Try using FireBug, that's how i found the issue.
The Padding-Left:10px is causing an extra 10 pixels to appear on the right hand side.
Along the lines of the other answers, but hopefully explaining what's happening behind the scenes, too:
The width: 100% on #top-panel refers to the width of the div's content area, excluding borders, padding and margin. Thus, when you specify both width: 100% and padding-left: 10px the width of #top-panel including padding is actually 10px + 750px (the padding plus 100% of the width of #container.)
The best solution in my opinion is to remove width: 100% from #top-panel. This will make the div take up the entire width of the parent element withut overflowing the #container.
The page looks ok in Internet Explorer since IE incorrectly includes padding and border when calculating the width of the div if the page is rendered in quirks mode. More details about this bug can be found here.
It's your #top-panel that's 10px bigger that your #container because of your padding-left: 10px;
Just add 10px to your #container and it will be good.
Remove the width: 100% from #top-panel.
