I'm having trouble left aligning a
related links div inside a block of text, exactly 250 pixels from the top of a content area, while retaining word wrapping. I attempted to do this with absolute positioning, but the text in the content area doesn't wrap around the content.
I would just fix the
related links div in the content, however, this will display on an article page, so I would like for it to be done without placing it in a specific location in the content.
Is this possible? If so, can someone help me out with the CSS for this?
