I am trying to nest some boxes .. simliar to nesting tables .. does anyone know how deep you can nest boxes ? Right now I am at 1 deep .. and I can't seem get anything past that.

Thanks

You should be able to go as deep as you'd like. There's probably some other problem, here. Anyway, why are you trying to nest so many boxes? With CSS, you don't have to treat <div>s like <table>s, so you might be able to get away with less complex code, too.

Give us some more info and perhaps even code, and we'll hook you up. ;-)

well.. the problem that I am having is that I can't center the nested boxes..

here is one of the pages that I am working on

cconway.com

here is the style sheet

stylesheet

When you view the page you will see that all the pictures are to the left .. and proably has something to do with the fact that I am using float left .. but .. if I use float: center it dones't work that way I would like it to. I have the parent box text-align: center, but that doens't seem to be the correct solution. I am not sure what to do from here.

On a side note.. if you view any of the pictures .. a popup comes up .. but it has a left margin and a top margin.... and I got some code from another thread . but I am not sure how to implement it..

Thanks

hmm would you not need to put your div class pics inside the div class sub? and center it that way?

Looking at your code though neither of the sub or pics divs have any align:center attributes? Mayeb try adding them there?

I have all the parent boxes set to text-align: center .. is there another align function that I am missing ?
