 * Just a quick question – I am hacking about the wp-login.php?action=register page
   to make it fit with the site theme, and need to position the #login_error in 
   a specific place. All is fine except it doesn’t float – whatever the css – it
   stays in place and pushes the form below down. Is there a reason this happens?
   It’s driving me insane!
 * My css is:
 *     ```
       #login_error {width:947px; background-color:#9a0000; color:#fff; font-family:"Century Gothic", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-transform:uppercase; color:#ccc; font-size:.8em; float:left; margin-left:5px; margin-top:16px; padding:2px }
       ```
   
 * Any ideas? Cheers!

   just put in a dodgy email and you’ll see what I mean. Site is only half way there,
   so please don’t judge the rest!

 * Using Firebug I found that the width of the element is only 10px less than the
   parent. I turned off the width (easy to do in FB) and things got better but were
   running into each other. Then I knocked the font size down to 0.5 em and things
   look like I suspect you wanted (or at least close).
