Creating your first site design w/o tables

[Talguy]

I went to the css section of the developers area and started the first webpage
design with out tables. I did the whole tutorial and added some of my own
stuff to it. The problem that i am having is that the background color of the
selector content is not showing but instead the selector wrapper's background
color is showing. Can somebody please tell me how to fix this if you want to
look at the code go to [url]http://www.freewebs.com/gobock/Newlayout.htm[/url].

The reason your dont see you #666 color on your #content is because INSIDE your
#content you have
<div class="container"> which in your css is floating (you have it
float:right;). When you float something is like if it was not even inside your
#content (but it is), is just that is FLOATING. so there is not height on your
#content and you don't get to see the color #666666. To fix this change your
class .container, take off the float:right; instead your give your images a
class of floating left or right.... which it looks like your images do have a
class already
your container should look

.container {
width: 99%;
float: right;
}

Ok so i ddi that but when i added the float to the container class it did not
add the background color but i did line the to containers classes up on over
the other like it is suppose to be but when i took out the float the background
color showed up and the container classes were off the top one was in the right
spot but the bottom one floats to the top of my footer.
