Hi Gabriele,
Hi.
I think that's something often underinvestigated:
http://onwebdev.blogspot.com/2010/09/css-how-opposite-floats-work.html
As you can see, in some cases result differs from what we did expect (the
only noticeable change is in the 4th row)
What do you expect the 4th row to look like?
Actually, I wasn't at all surprised by any of the results portrayed; it
was consistent with my understanding of the way floats in CSS work - at
the single layer level.
I would have been more interested if Gabriele's article had dug into
what happens when floats are nested - I seem to recall that I had a lot
of problems with objects overlapping unexpectedly when I floated them;
if you look at the screen.css for my Freelance Traveller site
(http://www.freelancetraveller.com/screen.css is the CSS), you'll see
some of the hackwork I had to apply to get things to appear as I'd
intended. I've never sat down and really analyzed what's going on so
that I could clean things up, though, and I unquestionably should.
