container background disappearing

Can anyone tell me why the background of the parent container (class=outer) disappears when the [I]second[/I] child-container (class=inner) is introduced? ?
Thanks in advance

@alannSep 05.2012 — Hello,

I was looking through your coding and first thing is you are using some code that is depricated(<center> tag for example). Could you be a little more descriptive as what your goal is with this code?


Thanks

Alan
