Multiple Div Tags in Fixed Layout Epub
I seem to have trouble when I include multiple div tags on one page of a fixed layout epub. I am using a div class to select and format all the items on one page, and then other div tags to format particular sections of that page. Often things seem to break down with the third div tag. Is there some rule about using classes or IDs to distinguish different divs inside another div?

as long as your html/css is in order you shouldn't have any problems with the number of elements on a page. if you can post your code without violating copyright you'd have a better chance of someone being able to help you diagnose the problem, though.

If I use the third div tag the page does not format as wanted. The caption appears at the top of the page instead of lower down and I can't control the large para of text in the middle of the page. If instead of using the third dive tag, I use the html 5 tag - article - for the large para - everything appears as wanted. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My apologies for posting the same post twice. Actually, I think I have answered my own question. I missed out a <p> tag here in the third div. It now seems to be working OK. I had some problems before with multiple div tags, but it looks as though it was probably simple errors in the code.
