09 Frontend: Css3 Floats and Inherit

CSS3 Floats and Inherit

CSS3 Floats and Inherit are two important concepts in front-end development. Let’s delve into each of them in detail.

Floats

The CSS property “float” is used to align an element to the left or right within its containing element. This can be useful for creating layouts where elements need to be positioned next to each other horizontally.

For example, if you have two

elements and you want them to be positioned side by side, you can use the following CSS:

  
    .left {
      float: left;
    }

    .right {
      float: right;
    }

By setting the “float” property to “left” for one

and “right” for the other, you can achieve the desired layout.

Inherit

The keyword “inherit” in CSS is used to inherit the value of a property from the parent element. This can be helpful when you want certain child elements to inherit the styling of their parent without having to explicitly define it.

For example, if you have a parent

element with a font size of 16px, you can make all the text within child elements inherit this size by using the following CSS:

  
    .parent {
      font-size: 16px;
    }

    .child {
      font-size: inherit;
    }

By setting the font size of the child element to “inherit”, it will automatically take on the value of the font size of its parent.

These are just two of the many CSS3 features that can help you create beautiful and responsive web designs. Experiment with floats and inherit to see how they can enhance your front-end development projects!
