Name
clear
Synopsis
This defines the sides of an element on which no floating elements may appear. In CSS1 and CSS2, this is accomplished by automatically increasing the top margin of the cleared element. In CSS2.1, clearance space is added above the element’s top margin, but the margin itself is not altered. In either case, the end result is that the element’s top outer border edge is just below the bottom outer margin edge of a floated element on the declared side.
