CSS Layout experiment 4b
Three nested CSS layers, one floating in P
The style rules for DIV
layers and contained text
can be found through this link to the layer
experimental style sheet .
The BODY
of this page has all of its margins set at
zero, and its left and right paddings set at 40px
.
The so resulting 100% BODY
width available for
rendering, now corresponds to the length of the horizontal ruler
sitting just above the layer example.
A snapshot of a correct rendering of this example is available.
A centered P
on a green background.
All three paragraphs in this example are marked up inside one
DIV
with a pink background, that in its turn is
nested inside a DIV
with a light grey background
color. A left floating layer, containing an image is inserted
inline in this paragraph by the help of a SPAN
,
to illustrate text
flow around. The paragraphs themselves have three different
background colors, and this middle
P
is also set
to be presented with justified text. Rest of details can be
found in the HTML source code and the stylesheet. Ok, let's
fill this paragraph with some more text now just to make sure
that we can illustrate how text flows around an inline left
floating element. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetaur
