I’m trying to create my personal HTML site (I’m very new in web-site development). But I faced the problem that two nearest div tags are overlapping each other and don’t understand why.
Here is code so you can see for yourself:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My site</title>
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="favicon.png" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css" />
</head>
<body style="background-color: #759CE0;">
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
<div style="background-color: #708EE0; width: 100%; height: 30px; display: block;" />
<div>
<h1 id="segoeuilight">Welcome to my blog</h1>
<h3 id="smalltip">News and thoughts</h3>
</div>
</div>
<div id="container">
<div id="left" />
<div id="right" />
<div id="center" />
</div>
<div id="footer" />
</div>
</body>
</html>
And stylesheet:
@font-face
{
font-family: 'Segoe UI Light';
src: url('fonts/segoeuil.ttf');
}
@font-face
{
font-family: 'Segoe UI';
src: url('fonts/segoeui.ttf');
}
h1#segoeuilight
{
font-family: 'Segoe UI Light';
font-weight: normal;
color: #FFFFFF;
padding-left: 10px;
height: 20px;
}
h3#smalltip
{
font-family: 'Segoe UI';
font-weight: normal;
color: #FFFFFF;
padding-left: 10px;
}
div#header
{
height: 20%;
}
div#container
{
min-width:800px;
}
div#center
{
margin:0px 200px 0px 200px;
}
div#left
{
float:left;
width:200px;
}
div#right
{
float:right;
width:200px;
}
div#footer
{
height:100px;
}
div#wrapper
{
width: 800px; /* set to desired width in px or percent */
text-align: left; /* optionally you could use "justified" */
border: 0px; /* Changing this value will add lines around the centered area */
padding: 0;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: #8D0087;
}
Here is what I get as the result:

The divs inside “header” div are overlapping each other. But I wanted to create rectangle with first and after it print some text. What is wrong with my code?
Btw I use Chrome browser, but IE9 shows the same result.
Sorry for my bad English.
For some reason, you cannot write an empty
<div>tag like<div />. Use<div></div>instead.See this fiddle:
