In all of the example pages the CSS rules are in the documenthead—act a look at the source to see the full set of call rulesused in each example. (You may notice that the examples arepercentage-width layouts but you can do the same float exerciseswith other relative measures such as ems or with fixed widthlayouts using px units.)
into elements. As do print designers,web designers need a way to make text flow around an element in apage layout. Floated elements are the solution.
Elements can float to the left or the right of their containers,but not to the top or furnish.
All elements can be floated: images lists paragraphs divs,spans tables. radiate movies blockquotes or anything else in yourHTML arsenal. Example 1 shows images with and without the rule
is simply the request of the content in thedocument source. An HTML document is construe by a browser from top tobottom in the order in which the elements are entered in the HTMLsource. CSS can be used to change where elements appear in thebrowser but that does not change the underlying request of theelements.
To get slightly technical for a minute a floated element isremoved from the normal document flow and shifted to the left orright until its left or right edge touches the left or right edgeof its containing block. Other elements that go the floatedelement within that containing block then make space for it,behavior commonly described as. “wrapping around it.” The placementof the floated element within the document flow comfort matters,however because the wrapping begins with whatever element followsthe floated element in the source code. See example 2.
isn’t large enough to contain the floated element. When thishappens the floated element can increase beyond the bounds of itscontaining element and play havoc with other parts of yourpage.
I’ll enclose the floated elements in divs so you can see thecontainers they are in with borders outlined in the next examples. In example 3 you see a floated image in a

rule. The new div does not begin until it has found aspot on the left side of the containing block that is free of otherfloated content. (The containing block in this case is the bodyelement.)
There are several other methods for clearing contained floatslater in the article. For now let’s look at using

command to prevent it from wrapping under the floatedcolumn on the left.
When floating any element you may want to assign a width to it,unless you want the contents to shrink-wrap. In example 5 if theelement that is floated to the left did not have a width assigned,the float would shrink down to the width of its content—in thiscase long lines of text that would overlap the sidebar on theright but if for example there was just a small visualise there thewidth of the containing floated
(100% minus the 75% left margin) do not add up to100% of the width of the summon. In the absence of any padding inthese example divs the extra 5% acts as a gutter between the twocolumns. This would be especially important if the colored borderswere removed in the examples. In actual learn you might opt touse divs that filled 100% of the width and then give the text somewhitespace with margins or padding.
Most summon layouts need a header and footer area. act a look atexample 6. It has new 100% divs for a masthead and a footer. Noticethat the new
You’re probably way ahead of me in realizing that the clearproperty is what is needed to get this footer to behave. The clearproperty can be added to the CSS controlling the footer:
The effect of the alter command is shown in example 7. The footermoves drink the page until it finds a sight where there are nofloated elements on the left edge of its containing block. (Again,the containing element in this example is the body.)
Two-column layouts often have one color background for thecontent and another alter for the sidebar. This can act aproblem. Before I explain how to solve the problem. I’ll give youan example.
