[I apologize if this question has been asked before. I haven't yet been able to formulate any Google queries that return information related to my problem, so this post is a last resort!]

My issue is such: I have a DIV which is set to float to the right. Next to the DIV (on the left), I have an element containing text with a background and/or border. The text accurately wraps around the floating DIV, but the background and border span the width of the page and appear "below" the floated DIV.

I have illustrated it here:

        http://www.abbett.org/css_float_problem.html
        (related CSS visible in source)

As you can see from the illustration, I'd like to make the background and border of my left-side element respect the margins of the floated DIV, like the text does.

Of course, if I haven't been clear enough, I'm happy to provide more details.

Thanks!
