    <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11917168/what-are-the-css-properties-that-get-elements-out-of-the-normal-flow">We learned</a> that <code>absolute</code>, <code>fixed</code> positioning and <code>float</code> properties, get the elements out of the normal flow.</p> <p>So Well, take a look at this example: <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/WKQgL/1/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://jsfiddle.net/WKQgL/1/</a></p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="pink float"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blue float"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="green"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="orange"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>The two first boxed are floated left and out of normal flow, so the second two boxes fill their space, Therefore the Green box goes under the Red.</p> <p>But, how about this one? <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/WKQgL/24/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://jsfiddle.net/WKQgL/24/</a></p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="pink float"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blue float"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="yellow"&gt;Well, why this text is out of the DIV?&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="green"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="orange"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>We see that the text doesn't go beneath the boxes and take place in the bottom of them, so why?</strong></p> <hr> <p>In another example: There is a paragraph and a floated image:</p> <pre><code>&lt;img src="example.jpg" style="float:right"&gt; &lt;p&gt;This is a long paragraph surrounding the image&lt;/p&gt; </code></pre> <p>In the result we see a floated image in the right, that the paragraph surrounded it. Compare that when we use <code>absolute</code> for the image, then the texts go under the image. We said that <code>absolute</code> and <code>float</code> take the element out of the normal flow, so what's the difference?</p>

    1. COlooks like the difference in your example is that the p is missing clear: both, or clear: left

    2. COI'm not trying to push the paragraph to the bottom of Red DIV. I'm just wondered why it doesn't go under it like those non-floated ones.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
