just to clarify:
"clear:none" means "don't clear anything - position this element next
to floated blocks according to normal flow".
"clear:left" means "if this element would normally be positioned next
to a float:left block, put it below the float:left block instead".
"clear:right" means "if this element would normally be positioned next
to a float:right block, put it below the float:right block instead".
"clear:both" means "if this element would normally be positioned next
to any floated block/s, put it below the floated block/s instead".
