Chapter 21. Floating and Positioning
CSS isn’t limited to just “prettying up” elements in the flow of the document. You can also use it to achieve basic page layout such as multiple columns, text wrap, and even positioning with pixel precision. This chapter introduces floating and positioning, the CSS methods for arranging elements on the page.
It should be noted that this chapter covers the CSS 2.1 specification for layout-related properties as they are intended to work. There are some notorious browser bugs that make implementing the tools illustrated here challenging. Browser issues will be noted here, but the details about specific browser problems and how to compensate for them are discussed further in Chapter 25.
This chapter covers these CSS 2.1 properties for controlling the positioning of elements.
