Float

Overview

These utility classes float an element to the left or right, or disable floating, based on the current viewport size using the CSS float property. !important is included to avoid specificity issues. These use the same viewport breakpoints as our grid system. Please be aware float utilities have no effect on flex items.

<div class="float-start">Float start on all viewport sizes</div><br>
<div class="float-end">Float end on all viewport sizes</div><br>
<div class="float-none">Don’t float on all viewport sizes</div>

Use the clearfix utility on a parent element to clear floats.

Responsive

Responsive variations also exist for each float value.

<div class="small:float-end">Float end on viewports sized "<b>small</b>" or wider</div><br>
<div class="medium:float-end">Float end on viewports sized "<b>medium</b>" or wider</div><br>
<div class="large:float-end">Float end on viewports sized "<b>large</b>" or wider</div><br>
<div class="xlarge:float-end">Float end on viewports sized "<b>xlarge</b>" or wider</div><br>
<div class="2xlarge:float-end">Float end on viewports sized "<b>2xlarge</b>" or wider</div><br>
