CSS Float and Clear Properties

When you want text to wrap around something in the browser then you need to understand how the CSS float and clear properties work.
This video covers all the fundamentals of how float and clear work together and how you can continue to have backgrounds and borders wrap around your floated elements.

I think this is one of the most underrated channel for web development on youtube because this guy deserves more subscribers and views.reason could be what? just because he doesn't say to subscribe to his channel?

[@kieranchamberlain9833]

Subscribed, as I totally agree!

[@andreflrsc]

WHAT AN EXPLANATION! This channel is just awesome! You explain the WHY when most of the KZbinrs stay on the HOW. Thank you! I will start watching your videos from now on.

[@icscomputer]

Thanks God, someone finally cleared these concepts to me. The one dislike is from a person who wanted to be a web developer but could not learn beyond Tags.... . The KZbin is filled with garbage, people like you are hidden gems and they are quite hard to find.

[@leox4224]

Clear: left -> drop below elements floated to the left. Clear: right -> drop below elements floated to the right.

[@artembublik108]

thank you , very good video !!!!!!!!!!!

[@vipinsharma-zx9cb]

Float and clear are one of the confusion topics of CSS, there are different senerios in which they behave differently, like for example if two consecutive images are floated left or right will pile up one after the another .. and when we use clear=both on them , then they will pile up on top of each other. Also please make one video on Floats / overflow=auto effects on page layout (with div's) its completely different.

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

Would like to work with the file you give, I've cloned the index.html. I like to work with the same assets as the instructor. Do you have a link to the deadpool image you're using?

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

That was just something I found online and used for a few demos. Dont have it anymore.

[@gsantos7622]

Amazing video! I do have a question tho.. How do you make it so your webpage updates automatically as you code?

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

In VSCode it is the Live Server extension. It runs a node web server and uses web sockets to talk with the page and pass updates and they happen

[@djsamiir4025]

thank you k

[@BradleyKisia]

Could you provide the links to the images and the css file referred to in the tutorial. Thanks however; was really useful.

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

In the description is the link to the HTML file with the CSS that I changed in the tutorial. The other file was just a few lines of basic CSS for fonts. I don't have the images or the CSS anymore.

[@abguven]

Very clear explanation, thanks a lot.I just didn't understand something.When you set clear property to "both" on third paragraph why the paragraph didn't go under the image?

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

The third paragraph does render below the image from paragraph two with the clear values `right` or `both`. It will not change the side it is on. If I want to move it under the other image then I need to use float:right; in addition to the clear property.

[@robertartwohl]

Thanks!

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

Thanks very much Robert!

[@BelladoniusMonk]

u r dope. ❤❤❤

[@keithsorrels6903]

Great Explanation, I even understood it. 😂. I would like to know how to have a single line of text that is centered on the image that is floated. Thanks.

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

You can't float anything to the center. Floating means moving it to the left or right and changing how things move around it.

[@keithsorrels6903]

@@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3 I think my question was not too clear. The image has a mid point on the side, half way up from the bottom of the image. A single line of text (normally) would be aligned with the top part of the image, I would like to move the text down so it is centered on the image. By the way, so appreciate the lesson and speedy reply.

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

@keithsorrels6903 the css vertical-align property controls how and image aligns with the text on the line that it sits inside of. Again though, with float that no longer applies. The image is not part of the line anymore.

[@keithsorrels6903]

@@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3Thanks a lot!

[@gevorgmartirosyan8189]

what if in .three we remove "clear:both;" and on .one we leave overflow auto. Wont it work?

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

Try it. The best way to learn and make sure that you understand is to experiment and see if things behave the way you expect them to.

[@Rasmusorum]

Thanks, what about inherit property in clear?

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

Clear is not inherited

[@stansmith9565]

at 07:39 you do "clear: right", which is applied for the paragraph. My question here is, why does the image for the third p moves down as well, even though the clear attribute was only set for the paragraph?

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

Because the image is inside the cleared paragraph

[@stansmith9565]

@@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3 ah, that's right, completely missed that. Ty!:)

[@md.tanjilurrahman5949]

[@AK-my9sb]

What happens if u use height instead of overflow?

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

Height doesn't stop anything with floating. It would cause more problems by forcing an element to be a specific height

[@dusan9930]

What about clearfix hack? Can you explain it? Thanks in advance.

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]
