Ignoring width of a section/div - width

Does anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Html ignores the .wrapper width which is 960px. If I'm right the text inside the .wrapper div should appear in a box with a 960px width but it totally ignores the css.

Try to add
overflow: hidden;
This will prevent browser to show content after width. You should write your text in paragraph to wrap the text

specify float:none; for wrapper div

Full width flexSlider with centered direction arrows

I am using flexSlider in a full width mode
for a site that I'm building.see here:
http://clients.tipoos.com/glam/
notice that the site hasthis full width section for the slider but all other content
is centered using a consistent class called: .main
What I'm trying to accomplish seems pretty easy but I can't make it work:
I would like to keep the slider full width but center the arrows like so:
I tried writing small Jquery to wrap the arrows with div but it didn't work.
neither wrap nor wrapAll was working..
will appreciate any help
Thanks
Found a solution. hope it will help anyone here.
in order to center the arrows but still having a full width slider
I used the follwing CSS:
.flexslider .flex-direction-nav {
margin: 0 auto !important;
max-width: 980px;
position: relative;
}
Explanation:
margin: 0 auto !important;
this centers the arrows container
max-width: 980px;
giving a fixed width to depending on your website width
position: relative;
this makes the magic. it allows the arrows to be positioned inside the main div
I also added negative top position to my arrows but that's only in my case
hope that helps anyone.

z-index not working, positioning one div above another

In this page http://qelma.mediadrive.fr/jedonnemonavis.php I am trying to position the div written "pourquoi" above the div with blue border. For some reason the blue div seems to be always on top. Any idea ?
Thanks guys.
Adding position: relative and background: #fff to #page2 .textbox > div.label seems to be what you are looking for.

Eliminating Website Horizontal Scroll

I have been changing lots of things to my website and now I somehow have created it to not fit to screen and has a tiny scroll to the right. Can someone see the issue that is causing this.
Looking to get rid of the black on the right hand side. Only the top and bottom should be black.
www.jobspark.ca is the website
UPDATE
So this is the line of code that is causing the black space. But when I remove the 100% the image shrinks back to fit into the 960px site width. Any ideas? im ready to give up haha Squarespace is not easy to modify
#collection-513d5347e4b0abff73be5267 #site > .wrapper {
max-width: 100%;
padding: 0 0px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
My guess is you you have width:100% on your div elements, this forces the client area of each element to fill the browser. Now since the elements' borders add an additional pixel on each side, you end up with a scrollbar.
I would recommend that you omit width:100% from your div elements. It should auto expand to 100% of it's parent and that should solve your problems.
If all fails this should work,
overflow-y: auto; // or replace auto with scroll
overflow-x: hidden;

CSS select with rounded corner and overlapping background color

I am applying a border radius on a select element that has a background color.
Instead of following the curvers of the border, the background color overlaps the curves and appears in a square box.
I can't figure out what css property I must use to solve this issue.
background-color: #FF0;
border-radius: 24px;
border: 4px solid #F09;
Here is the jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/JsgnR/
thanks for your help
My feeling about this is, to get this to work in every common browser, you will have to rebuild the select with JS ... unfortuneatly styling selects with css like a divbox still not is possible as you would expect. In latest Firefox your code looks nice in browser, because firefox decided to let the border overlap the select, in latest opera the border will be underneath the select, because they decided to.
you see that on the options , try to style them via css, you are not able and they look ugly
You can wrap <select> element in <span></span> and add the required properties to css for

position:absolute reduces width in IE7

I'm trying to position a div inside a div.
the outer div has a fixed width and heigt, the inner div contains some text, has a fixed height and automatically fits to the width of the outer div (default behavior, without "width: 100%").
When I now add position:relative to the outer div and position:absolute + bottom: 0 to the inner div, I just want the inner div to move to the bottom of the outer div, but keep the same width it had before. This works fine in most browsers (Internet Explorer 8+, Firefox, Opera), but in IE7 it reduces the width to fit the text inside the inner div.
Is there a clean and valid way to prevent this different behaviour in IE7?
You can see an example here: http://www.loud.fm/tmp (I'm talking about the black box at the inner bottom of the featured-slider-box.) Thank you in advance! :)
Since your already using absolute positioning to lock it to the bottom why not add
left: 0;
right: 0;
to your CSS as well.
When you perform position: absolute, you are breaking some of the relationship. In the example you mention, you'll notice that div of the black box belongs to an li element in which the li element has a static width set (of 590px). You could dynamically set the width of the inner div to that of the outer by using javascript on load to handle all situations. Otherwise, set a static width size that matches that of the parent.
I had a pretty similar issue with Div's being changed in width by IE7. A simple style tag solved it for me:
min-width: 100%;
After hours of trial and error, this was all it took. Hope it helps!
