Con la floatpropiedad, es fácil hacer flotar cuadros de contenido uno al lado del otro:
Ejemplo
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.box {
float: left;
width: 33.33%; /* three
boxes (use 25% for four, and 50% for two, etc) */
padding:
50px; /* if you want space between the images */
}
¿Qué es el tamaño de la caja?
Puede crear fácilmente tres cajas flotantes una al lado de la otra. Sin embargo, cuando agrega algo que aumenta el ancho de cada cuadro (por ejemplo, relleno o bordes), el cuadro se romperá. La box-sizingpropiedad nos permite incluir el relleno y el borde en el ancho (y alto) total de la caja, asegurándonos de que el relleno quede dentro de la caja y que no se rompa.
Puede leer más sobre la propiedad de tamaño de caja en nuestro Capítulo de tamaño de caja CSS .
Imágenes una al lado de la otra
La cuadrícula de cuadros también se puede usar para mostrar imágenes una al lado de la otra:
Ejemplo
.img-container {
float: left;
width: 33.33%; /* three
containers (use 25% for four, and 50% for two, etc) */
padding:
5px; /* if you want space between the images */
}
Cajas de igual altura
In the previous example, you learned how to float boxes side by side with an equal width. However, it is not easy to create floating boxes with equal heights. A quick fix however, is to set a fixed height, like in the example below:
Box 1
Some content, some content, some content
Box 2
Some content, some content, some content
Some content, some content, some content
Some content, some content, some content
Example
.box {
height: 500px;
}
However, this is not very flexible. It is ok if you can guarantee that the boxes will always have the same amount of content in them. But many times, the content is not the same. If you try the example above on a mobile phone, you will see that the second box's content will be displayed outside of the box. This is where CSS3 Flexbox comes in handy - as it can automatically stretch boxes to be as long as the longest box:

You can also use float with a list of hyperlinks to create a horizontal menu:

Web Layout Example
It is also common to do entire web layouts using the float property:
Example
.header, .footer {
background-color: grey;
color: white;
padding: 15px;
}
.column {
float: left;
padding: 15px;
}
.clearfix::after {
content:
"";
clear: both;
display: table;
}
.menu {
width: 25%;
}
.content {
width: 75%;
}
