Here's some text that's been pulled to the top by using "position:absolute;" in the <div>'s styling. This pulls the box out of the normal flow of the code and places it absolutely on the page. I put it in the top left corner by using "top: 10px; left: 5px;".

You'll notice that there's a good bit of overlapping of the text by the <div> box. That's the next thing we need to deal with.
