You do seem to have sorted it out though I wonder if you mean to have the go
buttons extending outside the coloured boxes as they appear on my browser.

You could trim your css considerably by collecting common attributes
together e.g. If you've got 4 boxes each 100px x 300px but all of different
colour you can write something like this:

<style>
div.allboxes { width: 100px; height: 300px; color: #fff; }
div#box1 { background-color: #000; }
div#box1 { background-color: #333; }
div#box1 { background-color: #666; }
div#box1 { background-color: #999; }
</style>

<body>
<div class="allboxes" id="box1">content</div>
<div class="allboxes" id="box2">content</div>
<div class="allboxes" id="box3">content</div>
<div class="allboxes" id="box4">content</div>

You also keep repeating the font spec when the font spec applied to body is
generally the same throughout.
