To create a flexbox layout in HTML, use the CSS Float. Websites have multiple columns to show content. CSS Float is one of the ways to multi-column layouts.
Flexbox layout introduced in CSS3. This layout helps in adjusting the screen size and to get displayed correctly on multiple display devices. With the collapse of a margin of content, the flexbox does not collapse. It adjusts according to screen size.
Example
The following is without using flexbox layout
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head></head> <body> <div class="mycontent"> <header> <h1>Tutorialspoint.com</h1> <h3>Simply Easy Learning</h3> </header> <nav> <ul> <li><a href="/tutorialslibrary.htm">Tutorials Library</a></li> <li><a href="/videotutorials/index.htm">Video Tutorials</a></li> <li><a href="/codingground.htm">Coding Ground</a></li> <li><a href="/tutor_connect/index.php">Tutor Connect</a></li> <li><a href="/online_dev_tools.htm">Tools</a></li> </ul> </nav> <article> <h1>About Us</h1> <p>This is demo content.</p> <p>This is demo content.</p> <p>This is demo content.</p> <p>This is demo content.</p> </article> <footer>Add the footer content here</footer> </div> </body> </html>
