right box?

[ivowel]

dear experts:

I would like to put a box of text on the right margin, say 20% of the
page width, a few lines, that does not disturb the flow that is going
on on the left side of the page (which are just short bullet points).
The box itself would contain only text (a paragraph). Is this possible
with CSS? (I know how to do this with an image, but not with a
textbox.)

regards, /iaw

What do you think is the difference with respect to CSS?

I found the solution. something like

p.boxright { width:355px; margin-right:0px; background-color:white;
font-size:10pt; float:right; padding:20px }

the secret sauce was the float:right statement.
