Description

The next positioning tool does not actually use position, but sets the float property of an element. Floating elements are removed from the normal flow of a document and pushed to either the left or right of their containing parent element. It's commonly used with the width property to specify how much horizontal space the floated element requires.

Instructions

The given markup would work well as a two-column layout, with the section and aside elements next to each other. Give the #left item a float of left and the #right item a float of right.

Tests

tests:
  - text: The element with id <code>left</code> should have a <code>float</code> value of <code>left</code>.
    testString: 'assert($(''#left'').css(''float'') == ''left'', ''The element with id <code>left</code> should have a <code>float</code> value of <code>left</code>.'');'
  - text: The element with id <code>right</code> should have a <code>float</code> value of <code>right</code>.
    testString: 'assert($(''#right'').css(''float'') == ''right'', ''The element with id <code>right</code> should have a <code>float</code> value of <code>right</code>.'');'
