Properties of Css-float

Definitions and Usage

The float property defines in which direction the element floats. Historically this attribute is always applied to images, making text around the image, but in CSS, any element can float. A floating element generates a block-level box, regardless of what element it is itself.

If you float a replacement element, you specify a clear width; otherwise, they are as narrow as possible.

Note: If there is only a small amount of space on a line for floating elements, the element jumps to the next line, which lasts until a row has enough space.
