float

Description

Specifies whether the object floats, causing text to flow around it.

Syntax

{ float: left | right | none}

Remarks

With the value none, the element will be displayed where it appears in the text. With a value of left (right), the margin properties will decide the horizontal positioning of the image and the text will flow on the right (left) side of the image. With a value of left or right, the element is treated as block-level (that is, the display property is ignored).

This attribute is not inherited.

Example

The following example demonstrates the float attribute. 

<html>
<head>
<title>case for float</title>
</head>
<body>
