The floater is a > set of gifs. Joseph, I'm wondering if what you're describing is precisely what you mean. Making a DIV "Float" is not the same thing as raising a layer on it's z-axis. When you say "float over a container" do you mean "higher on the page than the container", or "or a higher z-index"? Do you follow me? :) Can you give us a link to a screen capture of the page arranged the way you want it to be? Right now, nothing looks obviously out of place.
