DIV inside DIV

Now try something tricky like putting a DIV inside a DIV. Create a container with a pink background and neon green text. Call it #container-example2.

Containers can also have borders, margins, and padding. Let's give this container a red border.

Try putting it inside your programs and seeing what it does.

This container should have a dark blue background color with light blue text and a silly font. Everything written inside this container will have these attributes.

The blue container continues on.

font-size: 32px;

Now a word about the DIVs inside the html. This is so simple it might be easily overlooked, however this is HUGELY important. The placement of the DIVs inside the html determines where they fall, which goes inside which and so on.

In other words, it is possible to have one or more DIVs within another DIV. Think of it as using parentheses within parenthesis to differentiate a DIV subset within a master DIV expression.
