Question Positioning DIVs (Help plz....)

Hi All,

I’m completely new to web designing and I’m learning things from scratch with some online tutorials/screencasts. I need little help from you guys.

I have four div in my markup. One is a “wrapper” div while other three divs are to display some image and content. I have centered the “wrapper” div. All three div within it has equal width and also has equal left and right margin. The page looks pretty much the way I want it to look, but when I start to zoom in after a certain point the images start to overlap.

Also when I increase/reduce the max- width for “wrapper” div the other divs within it are not aligned equally. I have used % for width and margin and I believed that should take care of it. What am I doing wrong… please advice?

I need help with the following:

1.When I zoom-in why images start overlapping?
2.When I reset the “wrapper” max- width why doesn’t other divs maintain its position?

Please advice how I can fix them? I have also attached my markup file.

Thanks in advance!!!

HTML Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Elastic Layout</title>
</head>

<body>
	<div id="wrapper">
		<div id="div1">
		<p>This is div1</p>
		<image src="InstallBackground.jpg" />
		</div>
		
		<div id="div2">
		<p>This is div2</p>
		<image src="InstallBackground.jpg" />
		</div>	
		
		<div id="div3">
		<p>This is div3</p>
		<image src="InstallBackground.jpg" />
		</div>		
</div>
</body>
</html>
