11,258 PointsFloat property makes an html element behaving as if was floating above the whole document. You can imagine that the whole html document is like a layer of something. When you make the element to float it's like putting it above that layer so that the element that are on that document layer don't know about its existence and snap together ignoring the floating element. I don't know if it's a good explanation, but I', trying at least heheh.
