This effectively defines some helper classes for "clearing" - making
sure that any floats are placed and further content appears below
them.

For example, with the following HTML extract:

  Left

  Right

  Left again

  Not floated


try putting




at various points in between the lines. Then try 
, etc.

Not quite sure about the "strict XHTML" part of your question though.
It applies to HTML4 just as well.

cheers,

Tom

Thanks for the reply Tom I checked out the different classes but it seems not 
to make any difference if there are or aren`t classes on the brs. Maybe it is 
because I checked it on IE?
