As float implies the use of the block layout, it modifies the computed value of the display values, in some cases: Specified value Computed value inline block inline-block block inline-table table table-row block table-row-group block table-column block table-column-group block table-cell block table-caption block table-header-group block table-footer-group block inline-flex flex inline-grid grid other unchanged Note: If you're referring to this property from JavaScript as a member of the HTMLElement.
Initial value none Applies to all elements, but has no effect if the value of display is none. Inherited no Computed value as specified Animation type discrete. Morbi tristique sapien ac erat tincidunt, sit amet dignissim lectus vulputate. Donec id iaculis velit. Aliquam vel malesuada erat. Praesent non magna ac massa aliquet tincidunt vel in massa. Floats can be used to resolve a number of design challenges in CSS layouts.
Some examples are discussed here. Roger Johansson of Berea Street outlines an 8-step tutorial to create a simple, cross-browser, 2-column, horizontally centered layout. The float property is integral to the chemistry of this layout. Petr Stanicek of pixy. Similar to what we discussed earlier under "Float in Practice", Max Design describes how to float an image with a caption, allowing text to wrap around it naturally.
The float property is a key ingredient in coding sprite-based horizontal navigation bars. To demonstrate the importance of the float property in this example, here is a screen shot of the same image after using firebug to remove the float: left :. A simple use for the float property is to left-float a series of photos contained in an unordered list, which gets the same result as what you would see in a table-based layout.
This works better than a table-based grid, because the number of photos in the gallery can change and the layout would not be affected. Default styling on form elements across different browsers can be a pain to deal with. Here is a simple search form, with an image used for the submit button:. In every browser, the result is the same: The button appears slightly higher than the input field. Changing margins and padding does nothing. The simple way to fix this is to float the input field left, and add a small right margin.
Here is the result:. As was mentioned at the outset, without the CSS float property, table-less layouts would be, at worst, impossible, and, at best, unmaintainable. Floats will continue to be prominent in CSS layouts, even as CSS3 begins to gain prominence — even though there have been a few discussions about layouts without the use of floats. Hopefully this discussion has simplified some of the mysteries related to floats, and provided some practical solutions to a number of issues faced by CSS developers today.
