I want to have a page which looks, statically, like a page with a
float:right styled DIV element; the main text wraps round the DIV.

But I want the DIV element to be at a fixed height, probably top=0, in
the window, as if it were positioned absolutely, but with the main text
wrapping rather than going underneath.

Can that be done reasonably easily, and if so how?
