position play

This 'floats' to the right, on top of other stuff.

This is some text in a 'p' tag. Since this element has display=inline by default. you can't position it. But if I put enough text here, you'll see it wrap around the float. At least, that's what it's supposed to do. Your browser may put it on the moon, after all.

This is in a 'div' tag which uses display=block formatting. But it won't position, either, because the default position=static ignores where the left boundry is set.

Finally, *something* that can be positioned, because (a) it has display:block and (b) it doesn't have position:static.
