[Plugin: jQuery Collapse-O-Matic] trigger in another div

What I’m trying to do is have the trigger span over to the right side of the div.

I tried:

span#mydiv{
float:right;
}

And it worked but it deleted the div’s background. Is there a way I can nest the span into another div? That would work out even better if I can get that going.

I want expandable text but I want the button that expands the text in another div somewhere else on the page. Can that work?

<div>This is the placeholder for the start of the text
[expand id=”testiclass” title=”click to read more” trigpos=”below” trigclass=”arrowright” swaptitle=”click to read less”]here will be the second half of the text[/expand]</div>

BTW, awesome script.
