Name
CLEAR — NN all IE all HTML 3.2
Synopsis
CLEAR=”constant"Optional
The CLEAR attribute tells the browser how to treat
the next line of text following a BR element if
the current text is wrapping around a floating image or other object.
The value you use depends on the side of the page to which one or
more inline images are pegged and how you want the next line of text
to be placed in relation to those images.
This attribute is deprecated in HTML 4.0 in favor of the
BR
{clear:
setting
}
style sheet rule in CSS2.
Example
<BR CLEAR="left">
Value
Navigator and Internet Explorer accept three constants:
all | left |
right. HTML 4.0 includes what should be the
default value: none. This value is listed in IE 3
documentation, but not for IE 4. You can set the property to
none and it either responds to the value or
ignores it (yielding the same results).
Default
None.
