P
erhaps the easiest method of creating multicolumn layouts involves using the CSS float
property. When you apply a float to an element, you are saying that the content that follows the
element in question can float next to it. In so doing, you can create columns in your content. The
three values of float are left, right, and none. Applying float:left allows the element to
float to the left of elements that follow it, and float:right allows the element to float to the
right. Setting float to none, the default, removes the float.
