I am still learning webdesign and this tutorial is quite useful. Usually I create a container in which to float an element and then if I want to create another floating element I just have a rule in the CSS that will clear the first element.

That is a good tutorial on people that's still learning! Anyways, I don't see any problem of it on IE version is 6. What's your version anyways?

I very much dislike floats. They upset the order of things if you ask me!

I prefer to stick to display:inline where possible because it means I get the 'floating' effect on my divs but they still expand the container they are sitting in. With float you have to manually adjust the height and it makes things difficult for liquid layouts i.e. mobile-friendly layouts.

Actually on that note there's a number of things I do in my css for every page that makes my life a lot easier. Heres one that might help you out.

div {display:inline;*display:inline-block;zoom:1;position:relative;}

Obviously it isn't always the way forward but a lot of beginners, at least, will find things easier after applying that style.

Well unlike leroy i love floats, and i think they actually simplify layouts.
Apply position:relative, display:inline, float:left/right.
No setting heights, or any of those issues mentioned.
No ie bugs either...

Thanks, that did the trick for me. I have always been struggling with floating layouts and had to work it out by trial and error. Your code seems to clear many bugs away.

Floats are great if you use in properly and not over do it. There are lots of objects you can float like, login form, social media share, subscription forms, etc.
