We all float down here. CSS

Question

So I can’t really get my assignment to float but the format seems correct, any help?
Ex.
Nav.horizontalNavigation li{
Display: block;
Float:left;
}
What am I missing?

Answer 1

Can you post a code with an example? It's hard to figure out what's wrong in only four lines of CSS and no HTML...

Answer 2

/* Body Styles */
body {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
max-width: 960px;
min-width:640px;
width: 95%;
}

/* Body Header Styles */
body > header > img{
display:block;
width:100%;
}
body > header > nav.horizontalNavigation li {
width:20%;
}

/* Horizontal Navigation Styles */
nav.horizontalNavigation li {
display:block;
float:left;
}
nav horizontalNavigation a{
display: block;
text-align: center;
}

Answer 3

I can only guess since I don't have the whole code...
Probably your floating elements should be inline or inline-block. Also it's very uncommon to let navigation elements float. There's probably a better solution for this problem than floating elements.
