How to prevent text from appearing between float_right and float_left blocks?

I'm trying to insert dynamically-generated copy in a page that contains a
right-float and a left-float block at the top of the page.

http://www.clearpointsystems.com

I need everything in the #page div to maintain the border, but the generated
copy (from WordPress) must go in the #page div.

Is there a way to make the copy from WordPress start below the #window div?
That would be easier than trying to hack WordPress...

Thanks in advance.

#content {clear: left}

Or clear: both; if you want it below both #window and #top-right-corner

#content {clear: left}

Or clear: both; if you want it below both #window and #top-right-corner

sounds good, but do mean like this:

<div id="page">

<div id="window">
text... float left
</div>
<div id="top-right-corner">
image... float right
</div>
<div id="content"></div> <== this does it if the stylesheet has { clear:both }
??
....
dynamically-created content...
....

</div>

No. There was already a <div id="content"> in the page you linked to
earlier - I assumed it was part of the dynamically generated contant.
my Word Press templates have the same thing in them, but I may have
added it myself rather than it being part of the default output.

I see. But that example above actually worked.

what I'm trying to do with that #page div may not work, however.

instead of using an image header and repeating right/left border as a background
image (as does the default wp theme), I tried to just specify a 1px border
around the #page div.

as you may know, wp content is floated. when this happens inside my #page div
with the 1px border, guess what happens in IE? The border gets all screwed up
with inconsistent margins/padding.

so I may go back to the repeating background image just to avoid an IE headache

The code you posted above? Yes that will work. So will my suggestion
so long as the HTML is the same as when I first looked at your page.
If your HTML has changed since then then my suggestion will need
modifying.
