The CSS float property specifies how an element should float.The CSS clear property specifies what elements can float beside the cleared element and on which side
The float
property is used for
positioning and formatting content e.g. let an image float left to the text in a
container.
The float
property can have one of the
following values:
left
- The element floats to the left of its containerright
- The element floats to the right of its containernone
- The element does not float (will be displayed just where it occurs in the text). This is defaultinherit
- The element inherits the float value of its parentIn its simplest use, the float
property can be used to wrap text around images.
The following example specifies that an image should float to the right in a text:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus imperdiet, nulla et dictum interdum, nisi lorem egestas odio, vitae scelerisque enim ligula venenatis dolor. Maecenas nisl est, ultrices nec congue eget, auctor vitae massa.
img {
float: right;
}
The following example specifies that an image should float to the left in a text:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus imperdiet, nulla et dictum interdum, nisi lorem egestas odio, vitae scelerisque enim ligula venenatis dolor. Maecenas nisl est, ultrices nec congue eget, auctor vitae massa.
img {
float: left;
}
In the following example the image will be displayed just where it occurs in the text (float: none;):
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus imperdiet, nulla et dictum interdum, nisi lorem egestas odio, vitae scelerisque enim ligula venenatis dolor. Maecenas nisl est, ultrices nec congue eget, auctor vitae massa.
img {
float: none;
}
Normally div elements will be displayed on top of each other. However, if we
use float: left
we can let elements float next to each other:
div {
float: left;
padding: 15px;
}
.div1 {
background: red;
}
.div2 {
background: yellow;
}
.div3 {
background: green;
}
