The family cat:

Here he is on a thin day

Does Anybody Really Know
What Time It Is?

Objects, images or other things, can be styled float left or float right. This causes text to flow around them. This can be very useful or very frustrating. The diagram to the right describes the process of viewing a page on your workstation. Your browser sends a request for a file. The server attempts to locate the file and respond. The server responds with the contents of the file (or an error message if it couldn't find it). The browser reads the contents of the file over the net and formats it. This allows various types of browsers the freedom to apply whatever formatting rules serves it best. If the page contains images, the browser must request these separately after it receives the page. Consequently, loading a single page may result in several requests from browser to server, or perhaps to multiple servers.
