Hey there,
You might want to make thing simpler by only focusing on one or two objects at a time. What you might want to do is to make a complete copy of the page in question, then in the copy, take out all but one or two of the DIV containers.

Also, it looks like you are trying to "nest" those DIv containers, one inside the other. In your "copy" webpage, you might want to avoid doing that for the time being. Learn what a DIV is and how it works BEFORE you make a whole bunch of them interact.

cheers,
Pablo
