float right in wordpress

I have a wordpress site where the content area is 960px wide. I have a slide out panel that i have coded into the site but when i float it right it only goes to the right of the 960px content area. How do i get it to the right hand side of the browser window outside of the content area. Sugestions...ideas?

This has been c开发者_JS百科orrected

My new issue is that my slide out panel is behind my pages content when it slides out.

here is a link to the css for the slide out panel

CSS

Try

.my-slide-panel {
    position:absolute;
    right:-200px; /* change 200 to whatever your actual panel size  */
    top:0;

}   

Make sure that .my-slide-panel is in container that has position defined as relative or absolute.

use fixed or absolute position...

try

.class{
    position:absolute;
    right:0px;
} 

In regards to the floated element behind your content, try a higher Z-index (as mentioned above), but be aware that if the content is Flash, you need to add a parameter when calling the flash:

yourSWFObject.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
