how to make elements side by side css code example
Example: css position side by side
/************ How to position elements side by side? ***************/
/* We can use the property "display: inline" to place blocks of elements
side by side, however, this does not allow an aesthetic alignment of all
elements and we can't position a stack or group of two or more blocks
beside another block. For example, placing a header and a paragraph on
the left side of an image. For that, we use the "float" property.
This tells the other elements to make room for the element that is
"floating" in a certain position, with the minimum disturbance to the
flow of the document (packing everything tightly) */
img {
float: left; /* The image will float on the left side of the text*/
}
h3 {
text-align: left;
}
p {
text-align: left;
}
/****************** How to isolate this effect? **********************/
/* For example, in case we want to keep the image and the header side
by side, but making sure the paragraph is kept below the image. In this
case, we can simply use a property that will prevent that any other
element can be placed on the left of the <p> element. That way, as the
pieces are stack throughout the document, the browser will simply put
the <p> element below the "floating" image. */
img {
float: left;
}
h3 {
text-align: left;
}
p {
text-align: left;
clear: left; /* This will stop any other element from being placed on it's left side */
}
