After some testing I isolated the float: right; ( to make content 1st

Which leads to the topic of this post.
'Is position:absolute legal (or advisable) in a floated div?'
Yes, it is completely valid to have an absolute positioned element
within a floated block that acts as a containing block.
Some older browsers have problems with this, like Netscape 7. You'd
have to add an additional wrapper inside your floated block to please
those old boys. Like this
<div style=float:right>
<div style=position: relative>
<p style=position:absolute>
