Style cssFloat Property
Style Object
Definition and Usage
The cssFloat property sets or returns the horizontal alignment of an object.
Syntax
Set the cssFloat property:
Object.style.cssFloat="left|right|none|inherit"
Return the cssFloat property:
Object.style.cssFloat
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| left | The object/element will float to the left in the parent element |
| right | The object/element will float to the right in the parent element |
| none | The object/element is not floated. This is default |
| inherit | The value of the cssFloat property is inherited from the parent element |
Browser Support
The cssFloat property is supported in all major browsers.
Note: The value "inherit" is not supported in IE7 and earlier. IE8 requires a !DOCTYPE. IE9 supports "inherit".
Tips and Notes
Note: If there is too little space on a line for the floating element, it will jump down to the next line that has enough space.
Example
Example
Let an image float to the left/right of the text, when clicking on two buttons:
<html>
<head>
<script>
function floatRight()
{
document.getElementById("img1").style.cssFloat="right";
}
function floatLeft()
{
document.getElementById("img1").style.cssFloat="left";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<img id="img1" src="w3javascript.gif" width="100" height="132">
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<p>This is another paragraph.</p>
<input type="button" onclick="floatRight()" value="Float right">
<input type="button" onclick="floatLeft()" value="Float left">
</body>
</html>
<head>
<script>
function floatRight()
{
document.getElementById("img1").style.cssFloat="right";
}
function floatLeft()
{
document.getElementById("img1").style.cssFloat="left";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<img id="img1" src="w3javascript.gif" width="100" height="132">

<p>This is another paragraph.</p>
<input type="button" onclick="floatRight()" value="Float right">
<input type="button" onclick="floatLeft()" value="Float left">
</body>
</html>
