I’m having all sorts of fun trying to put inline items into the correct order. As an example, at the moment I have 2 equal width containers containing HTML items, with each container pasted inside a 3rd same width HTML item. As I understand it, one is supposed to sit underneath the other, and yet currently they both appear to be occupying the same space and overlapping each other. I also have problems with margins sometimes working and sometimes not, so, without getting into all my problems, are there any rules of thumb or somewhere anyone can point me to, where I can learn what I’m doing wrong?

It sounds as if the 2 inside are not inline to the parent and that is why they overlap.
If you select either of the inner ones if you have the option to Layer or not then it is not inline - should say CSS
If you click on the site panel and choose Page (to show all items on the page) then you should see
item 3
item 2
item 1
If you dont have that they are not inline.

Thanks Dave, I’ll have a look at that.
They are both inline and CSS, but I appear to have sorted the problem by specifying the 2nd item to float left just like the first. If you remember, this was the CSS menu problem from a few days ago (www.tkdcentresofexcellence.co.uk), I’d done the menu as suggested (thank you) and then decided to put all the page content into the same html container that contains the menu container, but the first item of the content appeared in front of the menu container html background, but behind the pasted in css menu itself (difficult to describe, I know!) Either way, it’s now sorted but I will look at your screencast, 'cos I’m definitely still feeling my way around with html at the moment.
