Say you have a 1000px wide container, and inside there are two DIVs that will be floated and act as columns. Let’s say that the first column is 400px wide, and the second is 600px wide.
When you float these columns, do you float them 1) both left, 2) both right, or 3) the first left and the second right?
I know that #2 isn’t really a valid option, but I put it there for completeness. :)
Personally, I always float them both to the left, but I’ve noticed that most designers and developers I work with will float the second column to the right. There’s no difference as far as the rendering and document flow is concerned, but I was curious to see what other CSS users had to say.
