Hi,

If I understand you correctly, I'd do it like so:

div.note {
     background: transparent url(blue.gif) 50% 15px repeat-x;
     border-width: 0;
     clear: right;
     float: right;
     font: 80% Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
     margin: 0 1% 0 0;
     padding: 0;
     text-align: right;
     width: 18%;
     \width: 19%;
     w\idth: 18%;
}

div.caption {
     border-top: 1px solid #006;
     float: right;
     margin: 0 1% 0 0;
     padding: 0 0 0 40%;
     padding-left: 10%;
     width: 19%;
     \width: 30%;
     w\idth: 19%;
}

If I'm not mistaken the * html hack is only recognized by IE win and 
Mac, so it won't work for Safari. In addition, you can't use it for box 
model hacks because IE 6 will also pick up the property you are setting 
for IE 5.x.
