I too use floats when coding my sites, but it gave me some new insight into absolute positioning as well.

Another great CSS article, Thanks!

Thanks for this very wonderful article. Can’t wait for the next one.

I used to have difficulties in CSS and when I finally realized its importance, I did not stop until I know every single information about it.

hi all,

thanks for the information, I also love float, but
sometimes I don’t float too much. recently i prefer this solution:

.container {
width: 820px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

.left {
float: left;
width: 400px;
background: #ccc;
}

.right {
width: 400px;
margin-left: 420px;
background: #ccc;
}

so we will have 20px spacing between .left and .right,

thanks again!

Thanks, this is a good refresher. Whenever I leave web dev for a time, this is the stuff that immediately leaves my head. It’s not all that intuitive I don’t think.

thanks for your help.

@Jan That’s interesting that you prefer to position your elements over floating. To me, it’s better to float because it plays nicer when expanding content and using repeated bkg images..but that’s just my experience :P

I’m not sure I understand though, what you mean about abusing text properties because of layout?
