wrapping content around an absolute div?

[rs7272]

I'm using a CMS, and I have a "block" that displays above the main content of the page. I want that content to display part way down the page. I set the margin-top which puts the block where I want it, but if I use position:relative the main content starts below the block (leaving white space above) and if I use position:absolute, the main content stays put (as I want) but the block covers up the content.

After a couple hours of searching and trying several ideas I'm still stuck... So, does anyone know a way I can move the block into the main content of the page and have the content wrap around the block? (hope that made sense)

Thanks

If you want that block to be part of the content, so that the content wraps around it then it needs to be just that... part of the content. No amount of positioning will 'fix' this. Positioning it absolutely takes it out of the flow of the page and allows you to position it above the content. If you allowed for this by creating some white-space in the content then it might work, but could easily break and would not be accessible.

You could perhaps 'move' this block using JavaScript and embed it in the content somehow (after the 3rd paragraph perhaps)?

Thanks - that's what I figured. Didn't want to add more javascript but seems to be the only option.
