I'm coding a website for a graphics design studio and I'm having a little problem. Having <p> tags anywhere in the container Div causes any other divs inside it to break apart. I've attached screenshots. I've never coded a website like this before so I have no clue how to fix it.
Heres a copy of the code (Please dont kill me for using dreamweaver generated code)
