Yes, if you apply a clear: left to the green element, it will start on
the line below the orange float. Actually, by applying clear, you are
telling the browser to extend the top margin on the p element until the
p element finally sits under the float.

Without seeing the code to your page, we can't tell what you may have
done wrong. Generally, we always need a live page to look at to really
be able to help. Screenshots are helpful too, but should be given in
addition to, rather than instead of, a live page whenever possible.

Also, to start a new thread, do not reply to an existing message. When
you do this,
your message gets threaded on to the old thread, which messes up the
archives
and makes it less likely that others will see your message and subsequently
reply to you. You must send a new message with an appropriate and
descriptive
subject line to [email protected] in order to start a new thread.

Thanks,
Zoe
