I’m back again with more FREE CSS Containers to download. Unlike my previous set of FREE Content Boxes, these boxes were designed to be able to stretch as wide as need be. Simply adjust the size of the container css value to the width you need, or remove it completely to have it auto adjust its width. I have also remade the original boxes in this auto stretch way.
You may use these boxes for any purpose, and you do not have to credit me. However, you may not redistribute these on another website, or hotlink directly to these files.

I was just looking for something like this to add to a little design I’m doing =)
Thanks!
@ Fep – No problem. If you need any custom colors or anything let me know. I might be able to help you out.
Many thanks for posting these great containers! They are easy to use and look great! Would it be too much trouble to post a “Blue Round” with the same blue that is found in “Blue Square”? Thanks again and keep up the great work!
@ John – Sure can! I will actually probably just email you it if you don’t mind.
Hello John, In case you didn’t get my email, or lose the file, you main download it from here anytime.

For some reason none of these boxes work in Internet explorer 5.5, 7.0, 8.0? Is it just me?
Hmm, well I would love to say it’s just you, but stranger things have happened.
They should though, I am relatively sure I validated them before I put them up.
I’m kinda busy tonight, but I will check them out for you tomorrow and if there is a problem I will fix them and shoot you an email with the updated files.
Is there any particular one you are trying to use?
I tested this page:
http://infectthesystem.com/2008/20-free-css-containers/
using the site http://browsershots.org , which examines browser compatibility of web sites.
And I saw that these boxes did not appear on MSIE 5.5, 7.0,8.0
how can i fix it?
Oh, that is part of your problem right there. The page just has images of the boxes, I’m not using the actual html/css code.
The code is super simple, there is no reason why it wouldn’t work in IE. Just give it a try.
no wonder!!!
that site is strange by the way, for not even displaying images.
Hi,
This is just what I was looking for! Thanks for the great selection. I was thinking of buying some containers like these, but thanks to you I have saved some money
Btw, I found this page by searching for “free containters css” on Google.
Thanks again.
Awesome resource, thanks! Is there any way to make the bottoms rounded to match the tops?
I was having problems with the examples I.E. 7….until I changed my doctype to
Would it be possible for you to do a tutorial on how to make these boxes? the header images on these boxes? I love them and plan on using them a lot and instead of asking for custom colors it might be easier if i just knew how to make them myself.
Thanks,
Matt
Hi there,
Thanks for sharing your cool css containers.
I have one problem though. When I copy the css into its own css file and then link to it, the container doesn’t display properly. The header part of it goes all funny. Have you come across this problem before?
It works fine when I leave the css in the same place as the html for the container.
Thanks for any help you may offer!
@Matthew Fox
Yes I can definitely do that tutorial for you. If you subscribe to my site, it will automatically email when that tutorial is up and running.
@Zena
No problem, glad you like them.
From your description it sounds like you are more than likely having some type of CSS conflict. I would double check and make sure that you don’t have any css definitions with the same name as mine.
Or possibly you have the boxes inside a larger container that has css styles applied to it that are over riding my css styles?
Or maybe even you have a CSS reset that has messed up the header.
Whatever the case may be, it is more than likely a conflict of CSS styles. I would start looking there first.
Hi,
Needless to say your containers are just what I was looking for.
I am somewhat of a newcomer to CSS & wondered if you could tell me the CSS/HTML code to implement these boxes. I have done this type of thing with a 3 row table, using the middle row as a bg, but had a gap showing on Firefox?
This is pretty basic I know
I like this, but it doesn’t work. >_> I click download but again a blank page.
The links to the zip files aren’t working (as of 8/7/2009) … and the zip files that are accessible by right-clicking on the hotlink are empty (0 bytes). Anything I’m doing wrong? Nice work … would love to use these containers if I can get to the zip files.
These look awesome, but the download links are broken, would you be kind enough to re-post them? I really want to try these.
So sorry guys. A stupid Wordpress update broke the download manager, and when I tried to update the Download Manager things got even worse. Anyway, all the links are working again so download happily!
Adam, Thanks for repairing the zip files! These are the cleanest, most elegant containers I’ve seen anywhere with lightweight code to boot. Very nice job & thank you!
Thanks these are very slick and simple, just what I was looking for!
Can you tell me how to line up more than one of the boxes in a horizontal row? I assume I need to drop an align attribute somewhere in the CSS area? I am trying to put three of your boxes in a row.
Thanks!
Nevermind, I figured it out.
For anyone who wants to align multiple boxes horizontally, just drop:
float:left;
into the .container class, like this:
.container {
width:192px;
float:left;
}
it seems like it a fairly over-engineered solution to a very fundamental problem.
Very nice… thanks alot
