12,928 PointsAt the 4:00 mark, why does Gill use the "float: initial;" declaration instead of "float: none;" for the media query?
Would both of these declarations give us the same result, or does Gill have a specific reason for using "float: initial;"?

However from what i gather, they would both give the same result and it actually seems that Initial values is less supported than None value.
I think the recommended practice is float: none;

So if you're watching this now use float: none; as it seems to have less issues as explained above.

12,928 PointsHi Rostislav,
I was thinking along the same lines, but couldn't find any confirmation that "float: none;" would be the best choice.
Thanks for the linked article; gave me just the answer I was looking for.
