HTML and CSS Reference
In-Depth Information
Definition and Syntax
The purpose of the CSS
float
property is, generally speaking, to push a
block-level element to the left or right, taking it out of the flow in relation to
other block elements. This allows naturally-flowing content to wrap around
the floated element. This concept is similar to what you see every day in
print literature, where photos and other graphic elements are aligned to one
side while other content (usually text) flows naturally around the left- or right-
aligned element.
