Positioning with CSS


HTML tags define page content in the browser. Before you add CSS properties to a div tag,
it is necessary to assign an ID to the div tag to tell the browser which div tag you wish to
change. Once an ID is added to a div tag, CSS properties can be added for that div. In this lesson
we will explore how to assign CSS properties to a div tag.

content within the box.

This video demonstrates the float property and the two values available for this property
