I have been trying to find info on how to make a box within a box in CSS
act right.

How can you get a box ie. wrapper which set size of main contents to see
boxes with in it. I have been just setting min-height to make the wrapper
be sure to fill in behind the boxes placed inside.

Is there a better way to make the main box size properly to its contents.

Am I explaining myself properly

We know exactly what you mean since this is a very frequently asked
question.

See http://netweaver.com.au/floatHouse for explanation and ways to force
containers around floats.

Set the wrapper to have overflow:hidden;
