I changed your CSS just slightly as such. 1. The "thin" keyword changes your widths relatively, so I changed them all to 1px 2. The container is positioned relatively with the inner divs positioned absolutely 3. I gave the container div the 80% width with auto margins rather than the inner divs div#divInnerContainer { position:relative; border:1px solid red; color:red; height:7em; width:80%; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; } div#divInner1 { position:absolute; border:1px solid green; color:green; } div#divInner2 { position:absolute; border:1px solid purple; color:purple; } div#divInner1, div#divInner2 { height:7em; } Hope this helps!
