I believe the problem is that you are expecting a block element to 
behave like an inline element. H1 and DIV are block elements, and 
extend from the left to the right of the container. If you did 
something like this:

[h1][span id="headerBoxTraining"]Header 1[/span][/h1]

you might get what you want, since SPAN is inline.
