Positioning divs inside other divs

This is what I am trying to code. I am at a loss as to how to get everything positioned within the center of the page. I have to header coded (without hover and other interactions, but I'll handle that later) but the center part is giving me trouble. First, I am not sure why my 'div id="captionbar' is not visible. Secondly, I can't figure out why the border around 'div class="container"' seems to be ignoring the height attribute (600 px) I've given it and merely conforming to the height of the slider (400 px) I have created.

*EDIT* I had typed 'heigth: 600px' by mistake. So now it is bhaving as expected. But the other issues still remain - namely the missing 'div id="captionbar"

I am also not sure how to create the right column within the 'div class=container' with the two boxes to hold content. I know this is rather vague and much to ask, but I'm in an interactive design class at university where the prof. is requiring this homepage to be coded in a week's time and all he offered in the way of teaching were some basic online tutorials. Also, it has to be responsive - so I'm thinking that's way too much to ask of graphic design students who know nothing of code, so any help is greatly appreciated!

Here is my full HTML

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat:400,700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>The Pantry</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="reset.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheet.css"/>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="header">
        <div class="nav">
            <ul>
                <li><a href="#">HOME</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">MENU</a></li>
                <li id="logo"><a href="#"><img src="Images/pantry logo.png" width="536" height="348"/></a></li>
                <li><a href="#">CONTACT</a></li>
                <li id="last"><a href="#">ABOUT</a></li>
            </ul>        
       </div>
  </div><!--end header-->

<div id="container">
    <div id="slider">
        <figure>
            <img src="Images/hungarian-goulash_10-20-13_1_ca.jpg" width="600" height="400" alt="Hungarian Sausage Goulash"/>
            <img src="Images/G-lasagne-al-forno.jpg" width="600" height="400" alt="Lasagne al Forno"/>
            <img src="Images/5357829-svickova.jpg" width="600" height="400" alt="Svickova"/>
            <img src="Images/pork shoulder.jpg" width="600" height="400" alt="Pork Shoulder with Dumplings"/>
            <img src="Images/hungarian-goulash_10-20-13_1_ca.jpg" width="600" height="400" alt="Hungarian Sausage Goulash"/>
        </figure>

        <div id="captionbar">
            <h1>Test 123</h1>
        </div>

    </div><!--end slider-->

    <div id="menu ad">

    </div><!--end menu ad-->

    <div id="hours">

    </div><!--end hours-->
</div><!--end container-->

<footer>

</footer>

And my CSS

Check this lab Demo

Check the code here

You have to change below Css

div.container {
    margin: auto 0;
    position: relative;
    width: 960px;
    height: 438px;     /* heigth is what you have written */
    border: 10px solid red;
}

div#slider { 
   position: relative; 
   overflow: hidden; 
   width: 80%; 
   max-width: 600px; 
   height: auto; 
  /* max-height: 460px; */   /*Remove this */
    margin: 0 auto    /* to make the slider content center*/
}

EDIT 1

Please use below code for you #slider 

#div#slider {
  margin: auto;
  position: relative;
  overflow: hidden;
  width: 80%;
  max-width: 600px;
}
