    <p>I have a large list of items that I want floated, but ideally I want them to stack top to bottom, left to right. Floating left stacks them left to right, top to bottom.</p> <p>How can I simulate a css float:top attribute in javascript in either native code or jQuery?</p> <p>Example code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;style&gt; *{margin:0;padding:0;} ul { height:80px; width:350px; margin:10px; padding:0; outline:1px solid; } li{ float:left; list-style:none; margin:0; padding:3px 5px; } &lt;/style&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;1679&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;1682&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;1732&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;1761&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;1773&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;1781&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;1788&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;1791&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;1797&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;1799&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;1832&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;1861&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;1873&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;1879&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;1881&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;1882&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;1888&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;1891&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;1897&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;1899&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;1932&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;1932&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;1961&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;1961&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; </code></pre> <p>There is a similar question <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1847460/how-can-i-make-a-float-top-with-css">here</a>, but it seems to be looking for more of a CSS solution rather than a js based solution. Also <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6123246/how-to-achieve-float-top-in-css-html">this question</a> is a more specific implementation of a layout fix.</p>

    1. COI'm confused about what your question is. You say you want them top to bottom, left to right and that's exactly what floating left will do. So what's the problem?

    2. COwhat is `float: top`? there are only 4 options: left, right, none, or inherit.

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.
