DOMPDF with css float

Joshua Blevins picture Joshua Blevins · Apr 22, 2013 · Viewed 26k times · Source

I am not sure why but the html page displays just fine but the dompdf does not utilize the floats.

Code is 2300 + line long so to long to post here.... But it is all inline css.

<div style="float:left;"> </div>

I have tried both wrapping the css in a style tag and inline with no luck.

This is the html page

This is the dompdf link

Float support is introduced in the 0.6.0 code base, but it is disabled by default since it is still in development. Make sure you have enabled it by setting DOMPDF_ENABLE_CSS_FLOAT to true.

Starting with version 0.7.0 float support is enabled by default.

That being said, since the feature is still in development you're not going to get the results you want. Floats that span more than one page don't currently work as expected because a page break occurs before the non-floated content is rendered.
