html - Input section inside a container can't be selected -

i created form using phpform. org/. under section "detailed room information", "parking & vehicle storage", , "hoa/management company continued..." tried organizing them columns using these example:

http://pagecolumn.com/htmlcodes4.htm http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/equal-height-columns-cross-browser-css-no-hack

but 1 time did, elements can't selected inputs.

how organize elements using container properly?

tip: in css when delete float property works fine, not positioned want it.
