Hi - that's not quite correct - DNN will les you but the CSS is overriding the code and until you work out why it's a bit frustrating!
You can have multiple containers on the same page, but if the CSS is not coded correctly - then it will simply pickup the first one and the others take up the same elements of it.
I have several freen skins and containers, but in particular - the latest skin that I've done - has 4 containers with different variances, that you can open and look a the css file and see how they work.
They are available for free download from my site and show you how by changing the class names in the container file and matching changes to the CSS you will need to do to get them to display different colours.
Basically what you need to do is assign different classes to each single container - and put them into the container file AND the css file. So a red class will be assigned for a red container, not just .background or something - it needs to be .redbackground and redbackground assigned in the container file too. What happens is that the css class background, if you've used that in 4 different coloured containers, without assigning colours, leaves css style sheeting rules to pickup one only and the rest will follow.
I hope that clarifies for you.
