Jon,

Usually when I do something like this, I would add a container div around the entire area with a width and left floated div around the H1 element and set a width for that as well, leaving the silver 'float' element you already have as-is.

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:

        (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!
