This CSS trick is definitively cleaner semantically speaking than using the usual "clear" div or line break.
As usual IE6 has problem with certain pseudo-selector and that kills CSS creativity sometimes. It will be over soon for sure.

A neat approach, however I'm going to stick with my clearfix-based solution, as it works in all browsers and I hate having to put IE-specific hacks into my CSS.

Calling all Gurus! Which Clearfix is best? .clearfix - not clearing method!
So I'm working on my demo here and now I move onto the clearfix method. While doing some reading I came across this article by Perishable Press. As Paul would put it, he amalgamated the clearfix method a little. Makes sense to me - what do you think? Heard anything about his changes? I understand the reasoning behind the font-size: 0; but what about the space void of the "dot". Thoughts???

Also, if I wanted to remove IE5 from it would it look like this? That's who the hacky stuff is for right?

.clearfix:after {
content:".";
display:block;
height:0;
clear:both;
visibility:hidden;
}
.clearfix {display:inline-block;}
* html .clearfix {height: 1%;}

mercer tools said...
19.09.2009 @ 04:58am

The ClearFix hack was great — it was actually a life saver several years ago when cross-browser support and CSS never played nice. We wanted to be table-less and needed floats to control our multi-column layouts; but then there was the clearing issue and ClearFix was there to save us every time.

Now things are getting better and the push to have standards-based mark-up and valid CSS with little to no hacks or filters is growing. Everyday we are getting closer and closer to creating complex layouts that require no conditional comments, no hacks and no filters – and stay perfectly valid and semantic. In a continuing effort to move in that direction — we had to seek out an alternative to everyones favorite hack; ClearFix.

There are hundreds of blog posts on this topic, it seems to highly talked about. But, we needed a solution just right or us and using the overflow property wasn’t flexible enough and other solutions didn’t validate perfectly

Jenna said...
20.09.2008 @ 12:42pm

Kalyan,

IE should not require this fix as it incorrectly wraps floated elements by default. If something appears buggy and you think this is the problem, it is more than likely a hasLayout issue, rather than a clearfix issue.

Try adding "height: 1%;" to whatever element has problems in IE and 9 times out of 10 it will fix it!

Kalyan said...
17.09.2008 @ 03:57am

As far as i have seen, the overflow and the :after technique will work on all browsers except IE. So we will have to use the empty divs for IE
or
We can also apply the clear:both to the footer div tag directly and works like a charm without the need for browser specific fixes.

Jenna said...
30.08.2008 @ 07:15am

Oooh yes, using 'overflow' is another solution. Good find with the sitepoint article btw!

I have used the 'overflow: hidden' option in the past but when creating templates, this clearfix method is generally the only one I trust downloaders won't have problems with (tackling possible scrollbars and disappearing overflowed content).

I may try testing overflow some more and see how high the chances are of these issues cropping up/how to avoid them because it would be a far simpler solution!

Mike Weiss said...
