The float property allows authors to wrap text around an element. This is identical in purpose to HTML 3.2's ALIGN=left and ALIGN=right for the IMG element, but CSS1 allows all elements to "float," not just the images and tables that HTML 3.2 allows.

so in the following example

any text written before the image will appear like this<img src=logo.gif style="float:left">and text added after the image will appear like this which gives a great effect when you have a see through gif like this example

will be displayed like this

any text written before the image will appear like thisand text added after the image will appear like this which gives a great effect when you have a see through gif like this example
