FLOATING ELEMENT PROPERTY:
CLEAR
FLOAT
HEIGHT
WIDTH
{ CLEAR :
NONE |
LEFT |
RIGHT |
BOTH }
Inherited: No
The CLEAR property prevents a floating element from appearing with the
specified areas of a text.
NONE
The NONE value allows a floating element to appear on both sides of a text.
LEFT
The LEFT value prevents a floating element from appearing on the left
side of a text.
RIGHT
The RIGHT value prevents a floating element from appearing on the right
side of a text.
BOTH
The BOTH value prevents a floating element from appearing on both the left
and right sides of a text.
Code:
Selector {CLEAR: NONE}
Selector {CLEAR: LEFT}
Selector {CLEAR: RIGHT}
Selector {CLEAR: BOTH}
{ FLOAT :
LEFT |
RIGHT |
NONE }
Inherited: No
The FLOAT property allows you to determine where an image will appear
within a text or element.
Image and text elements that appear embedded within a text or another element
are called floating elements.
LEFT
The LEFT value embeds the image within the text and places the left edge of
the image on the left side of the text.
RIGHT
The RIGHT value embeds the image within the text and places the right edge of
the image on the right side of the text.
NONE
The NONE value allows the image to simply appear where it occurs within
a text.
Code:
Selector {FLOAT: LEFT}
Selector {FLOAT: RIGHT}
Selector {FLOAT: NONE}
{ HEIGHT :
LENGTH |
PERCENTAGE |
AUTO }
Inherited: No
The HEIGHT property allows you to set the height of an element
of text or an image. For example, you could embed an image into a
specified position within a text using the FLOAT property. Then use the
HEIGHT and/or WIDTH properties to specify an exact size for the image.
If you set the HEIGHT of an element to a specified value and set
the WIDTH property to AUTO, the element will be scaled proportionally
(i.e., you maintain the aspect ratio).
LENGTH
The LENGTH value can be in any of the following seven
dimensions. Use the abbreviation.
Length | Abbrev. |
centimeters | CM |
ems | EM |
inches | IN |
millimeters | MM |
picas | PC |
pixels | PX |
points | PT |
PERCENTAGE
The PERCENTAGE value is based upon the total height being
defined as 100%.
AUTO
The AUTO value directs the browser to automatically calculate the height.
If both the WIDTH and HEIGHT are set to AUTO, the dimensions of the text
or image element remains unchanged. By declaring AUTO, you can ensure that
any previous declaration will not effect the height of the selected element.
Code:
Selector {HEIGHT: 150MM}
Selector {HEIGHT: 2.85IN}
Selector {HEIGHT: 45PC}
Selector {HEIGHT: 36PT}
Selector {HEIGHT: 50%}
Selector {HEIGHT: AUTO}
Selector {
HEIGHT: 3.0IN
WIDTH: AUTO
}
{ WIDTH :
LENGTH |
PERCENTAGE |
AUTO }
Inherited: No
The WIDTH property allows you to set the width of an element
of text or an image. For example, you could embed an image into a
specified position within a text using the FLOAT property. Then use the
WIDTH and/or HEIGHT properties to specify an exact size for the image.
If you set the WIDTH of an element to a specified value and set
the HEIGHT property to AUTO, the element will be scaled proportionally
(i.e., you maintain the aspect ratio).
LENGTH
The LENGTH value can be in any of the following seven
dimensions. Use the abbreviation.
Length | Abbrev. |
centimeters | CM |
ems | EM |
inches | IN |
millimeters | MM |
picas | PC |
pixels | PX |
points | PT |
PERCENTAGE
The PERCENTAGE value is based upon the total width being
defined as 100%.
AUTO
The AUTO value directs the browser to automatically calculate the width.
If both the WIDTH and HEIGHT are set to AUTO, the dimensions of the text
or image element remains unchanged. By declaring AUTO, you can ensure that
any previous declaration will not effect the width of the selected element.
Code:
Selector {WIDTH: 150MM}
Selector {WIDTH: 2.85IN}
Selector {WIDTH: 45PC}
Selector {WIDTH: 36PT}
Selector {WIDTH: 50%}
Selector {WIDTH: AUTO}
Selector {
