Yes! that works. I still don't understand why the login box's
position:absolute caused the problem -- I mean, pos:abs is supposed to take
it right out of the document flow, right?

And the client says it's still acting as though the paragraph below the
floatwrap is still inside the left float. This doesn't show up on
browsercam -- is it something where I have to move around the screen to
activate?
