         div.float {
            border:1px solid #ff9900;
            width:120px;

   <body>
   
      <div class = "float">
         This div has float set.
      </div>
      
      <div class = "clear">
         <p>
            This div has the CSS clear property set.
         </p>
         
         <p>
