This series of videos starts to look at some of the content and presentation details of a web page. We use images to link to other pages and use the float property to bring content inline horizontally.
For image links we essentially embed an image inside an anchor tag.
Image link code example:
<a href="home.html"><img src="some-image.png"></a>
The float property takes elements out of the normal HTML flow. We can use CSS to float an element to the left or right of other elements.
CSS float example:
.my-class {
float: left;
}
Follow along with your own CodePen. The links to the images used are below.
