Hello,

I have a simple html file with he css included, but I notice under
limitations that possibly I cna not use the float attribute in order
to position my image.

Is that still the case ?

Here is my html: ( it is a php file )

(You will notice that the css is going to try and use float )

<?php
/*
* pdftest.php
*
*/
$title = "PDF test";
$keywords = "PDF test";
$description = "PDF test";
?>

Hi.
I too require the ability to use the float attribute. Is this
particularly tricky to implement? Is anyone working on domPDF anymore?
I really really hope that float attribute support is added soon. Most
other CSS properties are supported, and float seems like an obvious
choice, does anyone know why it was not supported?

Cheers,
gooman

The float property is not currently supported. It does present some
challenges in that the floated element is taken out of the flow of the
document, requiring additional calculation to determine the space it
occupies. I don't think it's impossible, but we'll need to look into
it more before we know for certain how much work will be required to
implement.

Also, we are working on a new version of DOMPDF. However, we don't
have any plans on implementing the float property for the next
version. Any features you'd like to see implemented should be added to
our issue tracker. See <http://code.google.com/p/dompdf/issues/entry?
template=Enhancement%20Request>.
