While flowing text around images is certainly nothing new, with CSS you can float any element, from images to paragraphs to lists. In this practical guide, author Eric Meyer reveals some interesting―and surprising―ways to use CSS floats in your web design, including the latest capability to flow content past non-rectangular float shapes.

Short and sweet, this book is an excerpt from the upcoming fourth edition of CSS: The Definitive Guide. When you purchase either the print or the ebook edition of CSS Floating, you’ll receive a discount on the entire Definitive Guide once it’s released. Why wait? Learn how to bring life to your web pages now.

  • Learn the characteristics of floated elements, and CSS rules for using them
  • Be aware of certain rule exceptions when applying floats to your design, including the use of negative margins
  • Use the clear property to prevent floats from affecting elements in the next section of the document
  • Create floating boxes in non-rectangular shapes, including rounded corners, circles, ellipses, and even polygons
  • Define float shapes with transparent or opaque images

    Great book, small book, but very in-depth. Taught me things about floats I never could of thought I would learn. Very clear and understandable.

    More like a pamphlet than a book

    This book is more like a pamphlet than anything else. The explanations aren't the best and the author seems to be doing his best of explaining floats, but he doesn't seem to get it done. You're better off looking for free resources online than buying this so-called book.

    Though I'm happy with the content of the book, it's not easy(at least to me) the shape section. I need to take reference to other materials on the net.

    I love mayer, but probably buying the full css guide was a smarter choice
