Thread:Project:Support desk/Reorganizing or modifying wiki HTML?

I'm doing a new layout for my wiki out of scratch, it will be a single centered column with side navigation hidden and included into a dropdown menu on the top.

However, the wiki HTML leaves the page edit links and search bar on the bottom of the HTML. This is a problem because I need to use absolute positioning to bring it to the top. But I want it to be to the right of the centered column (you can see an image sample of how the top is here, although I cropped the borders, so you you can see the actual column, the two bars on the top is the dropdown navigation, I removed what was written: Image link). Since I can't use float:right because its on absolute (it would leave it floating outside the center column), I added a padding to the left so that it would get positioned on the right. Only the user tools on the top is using float:right. This is not really a good solution though, since specially the page edit tools element can change the number of links it has, and go outside or not start on the right.

So I was wondering if there is any way to change the HTML to reposition that element to already start on the top (so only a float:right would do the job), or to change the base HTML.

Another way to position that element without a float while in absolute would work too, although I don't know if that's even possible. (It has a set width with auto margins that matches the center column though)

Thanks in advance
