To clarify, the cleared element does have a top margin. It's just that
the top margin is set by the browser to be wide (tall?) enough to push
the element's top outer border edge past the float's bottom outer margin
edge. In other words, the '10px' value is overridden by the browser
because it needs more than 10px of top margin to push the cleared
element down far enough. If that were changed to, say, '10000px' then
you'd see the top margin in full force.
Thanks guys!
I can get immediatly what Tim and Eric talk about, but after reading
Chetan's proposal I think there's still a lot that I don't understand
about CSS.
