Float

The float Property

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 container

• right - The element floats to the right of its container

• none - The element does not float (will be displayed just where it occurs in the text). This is default

• inherit - The element inherits the float value of its parent

In its simplest use, the float property can be used to wrap text around images.
