Why is the second Div of my website not showing up after the first one?

Time:06-24

I want to make my website have it layout like this:

  • top: home
  • middle: projects
  • bottom: contact

But the project div is not showing under the top home div. I tried to give them both the same background too. It's been hours and I can't figure this one out. What happens is that the home div is shown but the second div, which is supposed to be under it, is not shown.

#main {
  min-height: 500vh;
}

#home {
  background-image: url("https://rb.gy/r1vmga");
  background-size: cover;
  background-position: center;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0px;
  bottom: 0;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  color: white;
  font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial;
}

#title {
  font-size: 60px;
  position: absolute;
  top: 10%;
  left: 4%
}

#bio {
  font-size: 25px;
  text-align: center;
  position: absolute;
  top: 80%;
  left: 30%
}

#languages {
  font-size: 22px;
}

#main-social-icons {
  position: absolute;
  top: 79%;
  left: 43%
}

#projects {
  background-image: url("https://rb.gy/r1vmga");
  background-size: cover;
  background-position: bottom center;
  color: white;
  font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial;
}

CodePudding user response:

As suggested in the comments above, you should remove all references to position: absolute as they are not meant for properly laying out an entire page and its components.

divs have display:block as their default so they are a block element already (you can setup their width and height if you want but it's also strictly not needed)

See sample code below (simplified from your code)

#header {
  /* border: 1px solid red; */
}

#main {
  /* border: 1px solid green; */
  vertical-align: top;
  padding: 0;
}

#home {
  background-image: url("https://rb.gy/r1vmga");
  background-size: cover;
  background-position: top;
  color: white;
  font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial;
}

#title {
  font-size: 60px;
  margin: 0;
}

#bio {
  font-size: 25px;
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

#languages {
  font-size: 22px;
}

#main-social-icons {
  text-align: center;
}

#projects {
  border: 1px solid transparent;
  background-image: url("https://rb.gy/r1vmga");
  background-size: cover;
  background-position: bottom center;
  color: white;
  font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial;
