CSS Float And Clear

The CSS float property specifies how an element should float.

The CSS clear property specifies what elements can float beside the cleared element and on which side.

CSS Float

The CSS float property is used for positioning and formatting content e.g. let an image float left to the text in a container.

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)

Global values: inherit, initial, revert, revert-layer, unset.

					 
        
          /* Keyword values */
          float: left;
          float: right;
          float: none;

          /* Global values */
          float: inherit;
          float: initial;
          float: revert;
          float: revert-layer;
          float: unset;

CSS Clear

When we use the float property, and we want the next element below (not on right or left), we will have to use the clear property.

left: The element is pushed below left floated elements

right: The element is pushed below right floated elements

none: The element is not pushed below left or right floated elements

both: The element is pushed below both left and right floated elements

Global values: inherit, initial, revert, revert-layer, unset.

					 
        
          /* Keyword values */
          clear: none;
          clear: left;
          clear: right;
          clear: both;

          /* Global values */
          clear: inherit;
          clear: initial;
          clear: revert;
          clear: revert-layer;
          clear: unset;
