Float, Clear, Overflow, and Object Fit in Tailwind

1. Float Utilities

Use float-left, float-right, or float-none to control element float direction:

<div class="float-left w-1/2">Floated Left</div>
<div class="float-right w-1/2">Floated Right</div>
            

2. Clear Utilities

Control how elements avoid floated siblings using clear-left, clear-right, clear-both, or clear-none:

<div class="clear-both">This clears both sides</div>
            

3. Overflow Handling

Use overflow-auto, overflow-hidden, overflow-scroll, or overflow-visible to manage content that exceeds boundaries:

<div class="overflow-scroll h-32">
    <p>Lots of overflowing content here...</p>
</div>
            

4. Object Fit

Use object-cover, object-contain, object-fill, and others to control how images and media scale within their container:

<img src="image.jpg" class="w-48 h-48 object-cover">
<img src="image.jpg" class="w-48 h-48 object-contain">
            

These utilities work well with fixed-width containers for responsive images.

5. Best Practices

• Use overflow-hidden to hide scrollbars in clean UIs.
• object-cover is perfect for hero banners or gallery items.
• Always pair floats with clearfix strategies or clear utilities if needed.
