Let an image float to the left:
img
{
float: left;
}
Let image be displayed just where it occurs in the text (float: none):
img
{
float: none;
}
Let the first letter of a paragraph float to the left and style the letter:
span {
float: left;
width:
0.7em;
font-size: 400%;
font-family: algerian, courier;
line-height: 80%;
}
Use float with a list of hyperlinks to create a horizontal menu:
.header, .footer {
background-color: grey;
color: white;
padding: 15px;
}
.column {
float: left;
padding: 15px;
}
.clearfix::after {
content: "";
clear: both;
display: table;
}
.menu {width: 25%;}
.content {width: 75%;}
Use float to create a homepage with a header, footer, left content and main content:
.header, .footer {
background-color: grey;
color: white;
padding: 15px;
}
.column {
float: left;
padding: 15px;
}
.clearfix::after {
content: "";
clear: both;
display: table;
}
.menu {width: 25%;}
.content {width: 75%;}
Do not allow floating elements on the left or the right side of a specified <p> element:
img {
float: left;
}
p.clear {
clear: both;
}
If a floating element is taller than the containing element, it will overflow outside its container. It is possible to fix this with the "clearfix hack":
.clearfix::after {
content: "";
clear: both;
display: table;
}
