Divs nesting / CSS Border issue.

Here is a link to the codepen of my project: http://codepen.io/cteve001/pen/jqzpqy

See the part that says Character sheet and it has a border around just that top portion. I would like to have that border go around all of the information you can see there. The border is set on the class of a div that encompasses all of the divs you can see ( class = character-sheet ) so I am not sure why this isn't working. I assumed I had a typo or a nesting error but I am not seeing it. Is it some weird issue because of the form element?

Thank you for your time reviewing my code!

Your container div is collapsing because you are using floats for the two divs at the bottom. You can easily fix this by adding this right before the character-sheet div closes.

<div class="clearfix"></div>

Then add this to your css 

.clearfix {
  clear: both; 
}

I didn't even think about the floats I was using. Thank you!
