Detailed graphic and text explanation of float in css

This time I will bring you a detailed graphic and text explanation of float in CSS. What are the precautions for the detailed graphic and text explanation of float. The following is a practical case, let’s take a look.

float and margin

Two adjacent floating elements, when the width of the first floating element (whether floating left or right) is 100% , the second floating element will be squeezed below, and it can be brought back to the first line by adding a negative margin-right value (the absolute value is at least equal to its own width).

When writing html code, our usual habit is to write code from left to right according to the UI style, but sometimes the content on the right is more important, so its html structure needs to be placed on top of the content on the left , let it load earlier, for example:

left fixed-width flow layout

<p class="comment">
    <!-- 右侧重要内容 -->
    <p class="content">
      <p class="author">
        <span class="name">哇哈哈</span>
        <span class="date">2016-78-55</span>
      </p>
      <p class="text">吃的再多也不长胖，好愁人啊，怎么能快速长胖呢，在线等，急！吃的再多也不长胖，好愁人啊，怎么能快速长胖呢，在线等，急！吃的再多也不长胖，好愁人啊，怎么能快速长胖呢，在线等，急！吃的再多也不长胖，好愁人啊，怎么能快速长胖呢，在线等，急！吃的再多也不长胖，好愁人啊，怎么能快速长胖呢，在线等，急！吃的再多也不长胖，好愁人啊，怎么能快速长胖呢，在线等，急！吃的再多也不长胖，好愁人啊，怎么能快速长胖呢，在线等，急！</p>
      <p class="meta">
        <span class="msg-tag">赞</span>
        <span class="msg-tag">回复</span>
      </p>
    </p>
    <!-- 左侧内容 -->
    <a href="#" class="avatar"><img src="images/header.jpg" alt="头像"></a>
  </p>

* {margin:0; padding:0;}
li {list-style: none;}
a {text-decoration: none;}
body {font-family: '微软雅黑';}
.wrap {
  width: 800px;
  margin: 50px auto;
}
.content {
  float: right;
  margin-left: 100px;
}
.date {
  font-size: 14px;
  color: #666;
}
.text {
  margin: 20px 0;
}
.avatar {
  float: left;
  margin-right: -80px;
}
.avatar img {
  width: 80px;
  height: 80px;
  border-radius: 50%;
}

As shown in the above picture , although in the UI, the .content element is to the right of .avatar, we still need to put the .content element in front of the .avatar element in the html structure. At this time, we can set the .content element to right-floating, and then give Set the .avatar element to float left or right, and then add a negative margin-right value to bring it back to the top.

1. The left and right sides are not of varying width

Rendering:

html code:

<p class="comment">
    <a href="#" class="avatar"><img src="images/header.jpg" alt="头像"></a>
    <p class="content">
      <p class="author">
        <span class="name">哇哈哈</span>
        <span class="date">2016-78-55</span>
      </p>
      <p class="text">吃的再多也不长胖，好愁人啊，怎么能快速长胖呢，在线等，急！吃的再多也不长胖，好愁人啊，怎么能快速长胖呢，在线等，急！吃的再多也不长胖，好愁人啊，怎么能快速长胖呢，在线等，急！吃的再多也不长胖，好愁人啊，怎么能快速长胖呢，在线等，急！吃的再多也不长胖，好愁人啊，怎么能快速长胖呢，在线等，急！吃的再多也不长胖，好愁人啊，怎么能快速长胖呢，在线等，急！吃的再多也不长胖，好愁人啊，怎么能快速长胖呢，在线等，急！</p>
      <p class="meta">
        <span class="msg-tag">赞</span>
        <span class="msg-tag">回复</span>
      </p>
    </p>
  </p>

Core point:

. The avatar element floats left, and the display attribute of the .content element is set to table-cell. In fact, the .content element here does not necessarily have to set the display to table-cell, as long as it can trigger BFC/haslayout, for example:

float:left/right
position:absolute/fixed
overflow:hidden/scroll(IE7+)
display:inline-block/table-cell(IE8+)

However, because the .content element here is adaptive and cannot have a fixed width, and it contains block-level elements, the overflow attribute can only be set.

css code:

* {margin:0; padding:0;}
li {list-style: none;}
a {text-decoration: none;}
body {font-family: '微软雅黑';}
.wrap {
  width: 800px;
  margin: 50px auto;
}
.avatar {
  float: left;
  margin-right: 20px;
}
.avatar img {
  width: 80px;
  height: 80px;
  border-radius: 50%;
}
.content {
  display: table-cell;
}
.date {
  font-size: 14px;
  color: #666;
}
.text {
  margin: 20px 0;
}

2. Fixed-width flow layout on the right side

Rendering:

##html code:

<p class="wrap">
  <ul class="list">
    <li class="item">
      <p class="content-wrap">
        <p class="content">
          <p class="author">
            <a href="#" class="avatar"><img src="images/header.jpg" alt="头像"></a>
            <span class="name">李荣浩</span>
            <span class="date">2016-01-22</span>
          </p>
          <a href="#" class="title">不将就</a>
          <p>互相折磨到白头 悲伤坚决不放手 开始纠缠之后 才又被人放大了自由 你的暴烈太温柔 感情又痛又享受 如果我说不吻你不罢休 谁能逼我将就</p>
          <p class="meta">
            <span class="category-tag">歌曲</span>
            <span class="msg-tag">喜欢·5000</span>
          </p>               
        </p>
      </p>
　　　
      <a href="#" class="thumbnail"><img src="images/pic.jpg" alt="图片"></a>   
    </li>
  </ul> 
</p>

Core point:

1: When the width of the first floating element is 100%, the second element will automatically wrap next to the first element, then you can add a negative margin value to the second floating element to make it go up

2: There is a wrapping element outside the .content of the first floating element, which is convenient for adding

to the .content element The padding-right value leaves a gap between the content on the left and the picture on the right

In fact, the idea of ​​​​the double-flying wing layout also includes the above two points.

css code:

* {margin:0; padding:0;}
li {list-style: none;}
a {text-decoration: none;}
body {font-family: '微软雅黑';}
.wrap {
  width: 800px;
  margin: 50px auto;
}
.item {
  padding-bottom: 15px;
  border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
  overflow: hidden;
}
.content {
  float: left;
  padding-right: 180px;
}
.avatar {
  display: inline-block;
  width: 32px;
  height: 32px;
  border-radius: 50%;
  vertical-align: middle;
  overflow: hidden;
}
.avatar img {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
}
.name {
  vertical-align: middle;
}
.date {
  font-size: 14px;
  color: #666;
  vertical-align: middle;
}
.title {
  display: block;
  padding: 10px 0;
  font-size: 18px;
  font-weight: bold;
  line-height: 1.5;
  color: #333;
}
.thumbnail {
  float: left;
  margin-left: -120px;
}
.thumbnail img {
  width: 120px;
  height: 120px;
}
.meta {
  margin-top: 15px;
  font-size: 14px;
}
.category-tag {
  display: inline-block;
  padding: 0 8px;
  margin-right: 10px;
  border: 1px solid #ea6f5a;
  border-radius: 3px;
  color: #ea6f5a
}
.msg-tag {
  color: #999;
}

3. Fixed three-column layout on both sides and adaptive in the middle

There are very few three-column layouts now. If you want to use them, please go directly to Baidu Double Flying Wing Layout or Holy Grail Layout.
