In web design one of my favorite CSS propriety if the float. Here I’ll demonstrate how to use it to built a page header. In this simple example I float every section left, but it can be done differently.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>My Header</title>
<style type="text/css">
body
{
padding: 0px;
font-family: Century Gothic, Tahoma, Sans-Serif;
font-size: small;
}
.ContentPlaceHolder
{
/* this is to center the content in the browser page*/
margin: 0 auto;
width: 800px;
border: solid 1px gray;
height: 100%;
}
.PageHead
{
width: 800px;
height: 100px;
}
.PageBody
{
width: 800px;
height: 600px;
}
.FloatingLayer
{
float: left;
width: 266px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="ContentPlaceHolder">
<div class="PageHead">
<div class="FloatingLayer">
<img src="http://weblog.simondeshaies.com/sample/support.png" alt="Support Logo" /></div>
<div class="FloatingLayer" style="text-align: center;">
<h1>
My Web Site!</h1>
</div>
<div class="FloatingLayer" style="text-align: right;">
<a href="#">My Link</a></div>
</div>
<div class="PageBody">
My Content Here</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
