Hi Peter,

after uploading your container DNN create .ascx files from your .html files.

maybe I can illustrate it with a container I made (with div's)

container.html

<div class="tanzania_container">
 <div class="tanzania_container_header">[SOLPARTACTIONS] [TITLE]</div>
 <div class="tanzania_container_contentwrapper">
 <div class="tanzania_container_contentpane" id="contentpane" runat="server"></div>
 <div>[ACTIONBUTTON:1]</div>
 </div>
</div>

after uploading DNN creates a container.ascx file:

<%@ Control language="vb" CodeBehind="~/admin/Containers/container.vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Explicit="True" Inherits="DotNetNuke.UI.Containers.Container" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="SOLPARTACTIONS" Src="~/Admin/Containers/SolPartActions.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="TITLE" Src="~/Admin/Containers/Title.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ACTIONBUTTON1" Src="~/Admin/Containers/ActionButton.ascx" %>
<div class="tanzania_container">
<div class="tanzania_container_header"><dnn:SOLPARTACTIONS runat="server" id="dnnSOLPARTACTIONS" /> <dnn:TITLE runat="server" id="dnnTITLE" /></div>
<div class="tanzania_container_contentwrapper">
<div class="tanzania_container_contentpane" id="contentpane" runat="server">
</div>
<div><dnn:ACTIONBUTTON1 runat="server" id="dnnACTIONBUTTON1" CommandName="AddContent.Action" DisplayIcon="True" DisplayLink="True"/></div>
</div>
</div>

 the Title is a dotnetnuke control which has the class .Head. Now I can target the styles for my container in my skin.css file using the folowing:

.tanzania_container_header .Head { color:white; }

hope this helps

Slightly????

that's much better!!!  this was one of the first containers I made learning from the Red Leave Skin tutorial video's.
