I’ve just spent the last few weeks learning how to properly design a layout. I basically thought I had everything perfect with my website layout and was ready to go about transferring the coding to WordPress… and then I accidentally resized my web browser and discovered that all of my div layers were overlapping each other.

Here’s what it looks like:
overlapping divs

Basically it looks as though it’s mainly my center content div that is being squeezed out, as well as my header image and navigation witch are in the same top div. My footer is also squeezed down as well. I’ve searched the internet for a solution to this problem and can’t seem to find a thing.

How do I fix it so that my divs stay in place when the browser is resized?

    I figured it out. Turns out that the width of my center content margin was dictated by margins instead of just a direct width (ie. 500px). So whenever the page was resized, the margins on the sides of the browser tried to stay as they were, thus making the entire column smaller. I just had to get rid of the margins and specify where I wanted the column to sit on the page and just justify a width for it.
