title: Element taken out of the normal document flow
body: <p>An element that is positioned with absolute positioning is taken out of the normal document flow hence will not effect other elements within the same document.</p>
  
  <p>If we now look at an element that is being floated it also seems that it is taken out of the normal document flow but it still affects other elements. Is it correct to say that an element that is floated is taken out of the normal document flow?</p>
