04. Floats in Parents Quiz
intro
I want you to learn through experimentation! In the previous examples, you saw floats directly inside the <body>
. I want you to extend your knowledge of floats by experimenting with a float inside a parent.
For this quiz, you'll be drawing a conclusion about the behavior of floats - do elements in the float flow respect (i.e. stay within) their normal flow parent's borders? Or do they float with respect to the document
, regardless of container?
Below, you'll find the HTML for this site. Head over to it and add float: right
to .child
with developer tools (try float: left
too!). After you've seen the result, come back and answer the question at the bottom of this page.
