5. The layout width is 90% of
the window width. The
margin clears an area outside
the border of an element.

means the browser sets and
margin.
You can add background
color. The padding clears an
area inside the border of an
element.
A floated element will move
as far to the left or right as it
can. Usually this means all
the way to the left or right of
the containing element.
Step 4: The CSS structure

6. Here the center
column(blue box) is on
the left side of the red
box.
The right column (green
box)now is on the right
side of the red box.
The clear property
specifies which sides of
an element where other
floating elements are not
allowed. The
value, “both”, means no
floating elements allowed
on either the left or the
right side.
