Appendix to explain my goals:
I am searching for a HTML/CSS-equivalent to partial zooming (not the scaling-type, but the advancing into windows/tunnels in a fractal way) to establish an object-oriented collection (tree-paths) of target-view-windows.
Trying to visualize it in z-direction (x-direction dropped):


    |...
   W|T
    |...     |...
   W|--------|T
    |...     |...

where every W means a div (rect window) in the browser and every T means a target in the object tree.
Think of it (in x/y-direction) as a diagram with embedded, recursively openable diagram-elements (diagrams in turn), where the particular path-contexts (tree-levels) to the particular target (including the frames of every level) may not be hidden, but have to be minimized.
The process will be: choose a root-path, unfold the content while expanding the outer frame (as long as there is enough space left in the browser window, no scroll is necessary). Do it recursively.
Of course this is matrix-oriented by paradigm, not flow-oriented.
Effectively that seems to force size computation from inside to outside with size restrictions and possible manual resizing at every level.

Sorry, this wasn't my request, because I want to MAKE a somehow similar framework, not to USE one. None of the known frameworks (i.e. Bootstrap CSS) do deliver the wanted matrix-oriented layout model, they all base on a non-recursive flow paradigm.

Thanks for your invaluable advice, it opened a new dimension for me. But in fact, it doesn't help with my problem: First level of nesting again works fine, but I can't manage to get the y-auto-scrollbar at the INNER div, which seems to be logical BECAUSE of the nesting. The scrollbar appears to the right of the whole first-level column's middle row, not to the second-level row's middle cell.
