For a very long time, floated elements were the basis of all our weblayout schemes. (This is largely because of the property clear, whichwell get to in a bit.) But floats were never meant for layout; theiruse as a layout tool was a hack nearly as egregious as the use of tablesfor layout. They were just what we had.
Flaots are quite interesting and useful in their own right, however,especially given the recent addition of float shaping, which allows thecreation of non-rectangular shapes past which content can flow.
You are almost certainly acquainted with the concept of floatedelements. Ever since Netscape 1.1, it has been possible to float imagesby declaring, for instance, . Thiscauses an image to float to the right and allows other content (such astext) to flow around the image. The name floating, in fact, comesfrom the Netscape DevEdge page Extensions to HTML 2.0, which stated:
The additions to your ALIGN options need a lot of explanation. First,the values left and right. Images with those alignments are anentirely new floating image type.
In the past, it was only possible to float images and, in some browsers,tables. CSS, on the other hand, lets you float any element, from imagesto paragraphs to lists. In CSS, this behavior is accomplished using theproperty float.

Initial value: |

Computed value: | as specified |
For example, to float an image to the left, you could use this markup:
As makes clear, the image floats to the left side of thebrowser window and the text flows around it. This is just what youshould expect.
However, when floating elements in CSS, some interesting issues come up.
Keep a few things in mind with regard to floating elements. In the firstplace, a floated element is, in some ways, removed from the normal flowof the document, although it still affects the layout. In a mannerutterly unique within CSS, floated elements exist almost on their ownplane, yet they still have influence over the rest of the document.
This influence derives from the fact that when an element is floated,other content flows around it. This is familiar behavior with floatedimages, but the same is true if you float a paragraph, for example. In, you can see this effect quite clearly, thanks to the marginadded to the floated paragraph:
