How to Prevent HTML Elements from Overlapping or Sliding Under One Another

How can I prevent HTML elements from overlapping or sliding under one another?

You should be able to do this using a wrapper div along with min-width and eventually overflow, such as: http://jsfiddle.net/5zsyj/

Try re-sizing the window, if the column is < 300px, it will show scroll-bars instead of just resizing the elements themselves, or floating above eachother.

How to avoid overlapping of html elements over each other?

Do not use absolute, unless you want to position each button separately/manually.

A simple solution would be to float right instead.

.me_msg {  background: rgb(250, 250, 250);  border-radius: 10px 10px 0px 10px;  border-width: 1px;  color: #003cff;  padding: 10px;  text-align: right;  margin-left: 10px;  padding: 1.1% 4% 1.1% 4%;  position: relative;  float: right;  min-width: 20%;  max-width: 40%;  box-shadow: 0px 0px 3px #e9e9e9;  display: block;}

<kbd class='me_msg'>My First Message</kbd><kbd class='me_msg'>My Second Message</kbd><kbd class='me_msg'>My Third Message</kbd>

How to prevent fixed positioned element overlapping others elements in css?

1:

By adding margin-left you can make sure that long fixed div doesn't overlap the others.

#two, #three {
    margin-left:20%;
    width:80%;
    height:500px;
}

2:

Adding the bottom:0px; makes it the height of the window because it expands from the top to the bottom.

#one {    
    position:fixed;
    top:0px;
    bottom:0px;
    left:0px;   
    width:20%; 
}

Note: I also added a flexible width of 20% to the #one div so that it plays nicely with the other two flexible width divs.

How to prevent divs from overlapping?

Please check the fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/6DtSS/5/
I've added clear:both to #homemidcontent
After you float the elements,you should clear it for the next element if it wants to sit right below.

Stop Relative Positioned Div Overlapping Other Divs

Here! Just make one of the slides relatively positioned, so that it can give its parent container its height!

https://jsfiddle.net/4ycxayb2/3/

Just add this:

.slide:last-child {
  position: relative;
}

How to avoid absolute bottom positioned div from overlapping other when window is resized

Simply add position: relative to the #container. This way the absolute positioning of the footer refers to the container.

http://jsfiddle.net/5bkznxud/5/

You'll probably notice that in the example above there's always a scrollbar on the right. This is because of the borders and padding on #container. Here's an example with outline (border with no calculated width) and without any padding:

http://jsfiddle.net/5bkznxud/6/

TIP: Always use outline instead of border for blocking a layout OR use box-sizing: border-box. This causes a box' dimensions to also calculate for the border. Otherwise a box with width of 100% and border will span slightly wider than you want.

Overlapping elements in CSS

the easiest way is to use position:absolute on both elements. You can absolutely position relative to the page, or you can absolutely position relative to a container div by setting the container div to position:relative

<div id="container" style="position:relative;">
    <div id="div1" style="position:absolute; top:0; left:0;"></div>
    <div id="div2" style="position:absolute; top:0; left:0;"></div>
</div>

How can I hide the start of an element instead of the end when it get's overlapped?

Your margin-left: 200px is preventing it from being overlapped by your #leftside div.

Try this for your CSS:

#leftside {
  position: absolute;
  left: 0;
  width: 200px;
  background-color: red;
  z-index: 2; /* this will overlap #rightside */
}

#rightside{
  position: absolute;
  right: 0;
  width: 150px;
  background-color: green;
  z-index: 1; /* this will overlap span */
}
span {
  position: fixed;
  left: 40%; /* change this to what you need, depending on #leftside */
}

What could be causing translated div elements to NOT overlap surrounding content?

Your combined style:

#bottom-panel {
    height: $bottom-navbar-height;
    overflow: hidden;
}

forces browser to clip the content, which affects your button and div transformations. Docs say:

Content is clipped if necessary to fit the padding box.

Just remove overflow property and it will work as expected.
