Definition and Usage
The cssFloat property sets or returns the horizontal alignment of an element.
Note: The CSS "float" property is called "cssFloat" in JavaScript, because "float" is a reserved word in JavaScript.
Note: If there is too little space on a line for the floating element, it will jump down to the next line that has enough space.
