I have no idea why, though. You might want to consider using a different method of clearing, such as Big John and Holly's Easy Clearing method[1] applied to navbar, or floating the navbar right and adding "clear:right" to your main content area, since floats will contain other floats. Either way, it appears that the clearing div is hurting more than it is helping.
