<p>The <strong class=css>float</strong> property allows authors to wrap text around an element. This is identical in purpose to <a href="../../wilbur/index.html">HTML&#160;3.2</a>'s <strong class=html>ALIGN=left</strong> and <strong class=html>ALIGN=right</strong> for the <strong class=html>IMG</strong> element, but CSS1 allows all elements to "float," not just the <a href="../../wilbur/special/img.html">images</a> and <a href="../../wilbur/table/table.html">tables</a> that HTML&#160;3.2 allows.</p>
