ptg16476052186 LESSON 8: Using CSS to Style a Site
As you can see, the three boxes run straight down the page. I’ve added a border to the
first box, but that’s it. Here’s the source code to the page, with the addit ion of a few other

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Floated Elements</title>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
.right {
border: 3px solid black;
padding: 10px;
margin: 10px;
float: right;
width: 33%; }.bottom { clear: both; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p class="right">
The absence of romance in my history will, I fear, detract somewhat

of the future, which in the course of human things must resemble if
it does not reflect it, I shall be content.

but as a possession for all time.
