# Float

Toggle floats on any element, across any breakpoint, using our responsive float utilities.

## 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.

Float start on all viewport sizes
Float end on all viewport sizes
Don't float on all viewport sizes
html

    <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>

## Responsive

Responsive variations also exist for each `float` value.

Float start on viewports sized SM (small) or wider
Float start on viewports sized MD (medium) or wider
Float start on viewports sized LG (large) or wider
Float start on viewports sized XL (extra-large) or wider
html

    <div class="float-sm-start">Float start on viewports sized SM (small) or wider</div><br>

    <div class="float-lg-start">Float start on viewports sized LG (large) or wider</div><br>
