Hi, I'm developing a website at the moment and struggling a bit with aligning a few components inside of a section.

The section highlighted in red consists of 3 elements, the image, textboxes and button, but no matter what I try I can't seem to get them aligned correctly, or to stay within the defined bounds of the section.

The section highlighted in green is in the header and I can't seem to drag any other objects (images or otherwise) into that top section aside from the found.it logo.

I'd appreciate any help as to how I might overcome these issues.

This is my design I'd like to achieve:

CSS:

head{
	background-color: rgb(0,0,0);
	position: fixed;
	width: 100%;
	height:43px;
	display: block;
	text-align: center;
	float: center;
	z-index:-1;
 
}
 
head input {
margin-top:500px;;
 
}
 
 
footer
{
	left:0;
	right:0;
	bottom:0;
	position: fixed;
	clear: both;
	text-align: center;
	font-family: ERASLGHT;
}
 
 
 
 
body 
{
	margin: 0 auto;
	width: 980px;
	background-image:url('http://i46.tinypic.com/r1cuo2.png');
	font-family:'ERASLGHT';
}
 
@import url(<a href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto+Condensed:400,300" rel="nofollow">http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto+Condensed:400,300</a>);
 
 
section, article, footer 
{
	font-family: 'Roboto Condensed', sans-serif;
	background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
 
}
section, article{
margin: 12px;
}
a:link {
  color: black ;
  text-decoration: none ;
}
 
a:hover {
  color: rgb(128,128,128);
}
 
 
#title{
font-size:2.0em;
width:704px;
height:64px;
margin-top:24px;
padding:12px;
margin-bottom:-12px;
}
#profile{
font-size:2.0em;
width:704px;
height:128px;
margin-top:24px;
padding:12px;
margin-bottom:-12px;
}
#profile h3, h4{
margin-top:-110px;
margin-left: 138px;
}
#post{
width:728px;
height:88px;
}
#post img{
	margin:12px;
	height:100%;
	float:top;
}
#post input{
float:top;
margin-left:150px;
margin-top:-100px;
}
 
 h2
{	
	font-size: 2.2em;
	letter-spacing: 0em;
	text-align: left;

	letter-spacing: 0em;
	text-align: left;
}

}
 
::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
 
    -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.3); 
    border-radius: 8px;

ul,li {

#trends

Basic misunderstanding

I think you're confusing the head and header elements. See http://dev.w3.org/html5/markup/.

When you added %flow elements to the head element, the head was closed, and the body element was automagically added. That has likely caused other error cascades.

If your web page is as clever as you can make it, it's probably too clever for you to debug or maintain.
