1,426 PointsWhat was the purpose of floating the header, towards the beginning of this lesson? I don't see what the "float" did!
I understand that float allows other elements "to float" next to the element being "floated" as opposed to stacking down bellow it, or where they would have otherwise have been, and I understand that float can be used to make multiple columns of content, but I don't understand what "floating" the header did, in this case. Could you explain the purpose of the "float" code in the header element, in the beginning of this lesson?

2,732 PointsHi Nataly
From the audio this is what Nick says about floating the header....
" Floating to the left does not have any practical use right now but it will later on when we style our desktop layout - so stay tuned for that."
So it looks as though the float will be utilised later.
