# --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`.
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
The element with id `left` should have a `float` value of `left`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert($('#left').css('float') == 'left');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The element with id `right` should have a `float` value of `right`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert($('#right').css('float') == 'right');
|
|
```
