I changed your CSS just slightly as such.
1.  The "thin" keyword changes your widths relatively, so I changed
them all to 1px
2.  The container is positioned relatively with the inner divs
positioned absolutely
3.  I gave the container div the 80% width with auto margins rather
than the inner divs

div#divInnerContainer {
        position:relative;
        border:1px solid red;
        color:red;
        height:7em;
        width:80%;
        margin-left:auto;
        margin-right:auto;
}
div#divInner1 {
        position:absolute;
        border:1px solid green;
        color:green;
}
div#divInner2 {
        position:absolute;
        border:1px solid purple;
        color:purple;
}

div#divInner1, div#divInner2 {
        height:7em;
}


Hope this helps!
