My preferred method is Flex, but older browsers do not support it. I tend to use float as a backup.

Hi Mao, It really depends on the type of layout you desire. Personally I prefer to float, but I've hear some like to 'display:inline'.

I think your best bet for a good answer is you search for "css float vs display" and read what others have to say about which way they do it and why.

Keep Coding! :)
