HTML moving phaser into container div

Currently making up a browser based game in phaser and trying to add it into the container div tag I've created however phaser seems to be pushing itself to below the container div.

Two screenshots for comparison:

This is the code for my HTML page:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>This is our menu bar!</title>

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css"/>

    </head>

    <body>


    <ul id="menu">
    <li><a href="file:///H:/AINT103/xampp/htdocs/Weekfour/index.html" class="highlight"><span>Home</span></a></li>  
    <li><a href="file:///H:/AINT103/xampp/htdocs/Weekfour/index.html"><span>Link1</span></a></li>   
    <li><a href="file:///H:/AINT103/xampp/htdocs/Weekfour/index.html"><span>Link2</span></a></li>   
    <li><a href="file:///H:/AINT103/xampp/htdocs/Weekfour/index.html"><span>Link3</span></a></li>   
    <li><a href="file:///H:/AINT103/xampp/htdocs/Weekfour/index.html"><span>Link4</span></a></li>   
    </ul>   


    <div class="container">

    <script rel="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="phaser.js"></script>
    <script rel="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="game.js"></script>


    <div class="header">
    Title of game & small talk about about with some a box surrounding this text before another text box surrounding the game below
    </div>

    <div class="instructions">
    </div>
    Instructions
    </div>

    <div id="footer">
     Copyright 2013 marc

    </div>

    </body>


    </html>

And this is the code for my CSS

    body {
    font-family: Century Gothic, Arial;
    background-color: #CCCCCC;
    margin: 0px auto;
    text-align: center;
    }
    .container {
    background-color: #999999;
    margin: auto;
    width: 1000px;
    height: 1000px;

    }
    .header {
    font-size: 22px;
    background-color: #999999;
    border: 1px dashed #666666;
    color: #444444;
    width: 800px;
    font-size: 14px;
    text-align: center;
    margin: 10px auto 0px auto;
    }   
    #menu {
    float: center;
    padding: 0px 10px;
    margin: 10px;
    border-bottom: 5px solid #6D7AB2;
    }

    #menu li {
    display: inline;
    list-style: none;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    }

    #menu li a {
    float: center;
    color: #000000;
    text-decoration: none;
    background: url('menuleft.gif') top left no-repeat;
    margin: 0px 0px;
    padding: 9px 0px 0px 9px;
    }

    #menu li a span {
    background: url('menuright.gif') top right no-repeat;
    padding: 9px 25px 6px 15px;
    }

    #menu li a:hover, 
    #menu li a.highlight {
    background: url('menuleft-hl.gif') top left no-repeat;
    color: #ffffff;
    }

    #menu li a:hover span, 
    #menu li a.highlight span {
    background: url('menuright-hl.gif') top right no-repeat;
    }


    canvas {
    padding: 0px;
    margin: auto;
    }

    #footer {
    clear:both;
    margin-top: 10px;
    border-top: 5px solid #6D7AB2;
    padding: 20px 0px;
    font-size: 80%;
    text-align:center;


    }

Anyone able to help show me where I'm going wrong?

For Phaser3 you can specify parent id in configuration object

const config = {
    width: 800, height: 600,
    ...
    parent: 'element-id'
};

new Phaser.Game(config);

checkout docs here: https://photonstorm.github.io/phaser3-docs/global.html#GameConfig

Using the examples found on the phaser github (https://github.com/photonstorm/phaser)

in the Html:

<div id="phaser-example"></div>

on the .js

var game = new Phaser.Game(800, 600, Phaser.AUTO, 'phaser-example', { preload: preload, create: create, update: update, render: render });

The fourth parameter on Phaser.Game() is the id of the DOM element in which you would like to insert the element that Phaser creates.

The 4th parameter to the Phaser.Game constructor is the parent container. If you leave it empty it will inject the canvas into the document body. If you give it a string, it will run a document.getElementById() on that string, and if found inject the canvas into there. If you provide it with an HTMLElement it will skip the ID check and inject the canvas into that element instead.

So in your case specifically I would suggest you create a div with an ID, then pass that ID into the constructor.
