Mike3456 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) I have been playing with the float property. As an example I use two consecutive paragraphs but you could substitute other elements as well. Once I set float: left for the first paragraph, the second paragraph fails to position next to the floated first paragraph as long as its width/height are set. It works as expected with float:right, or the second paragraph has no width/height ================================ <!DOCTYPE html><html><head><style>#p1 { float: left; width: 100px; height: 50px;}#p2 { width: 100px; height: 50px;}</style></head><body><p id="p1">paragraph1</p><p id="p2">paragraph2</p></body></html> Edited April 29, 2016 by Mike3456 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davej Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 So float both paragraphs. I don't see width or height affecting the float property. If you don't declare a width and height an element will still have the default values. If you put a border around each element you can more easily see where their boundaries are. Float removes a element from the normal flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
