Here's an update on the current progress of our clearfix investigation. Yesterday Heidi and I sat down and spent some time looking at the clearfix options. One thing we noticed is that what I had labelled as the the New Clearfix was actually an old one. Oops. I've updated my github repo with the actual New Clearfix, and kept the old one in as the Old Clearfix. I haven't gotten around to doing all the cross browser testing yet.
Heidi and I will probably spend some more time looking into the various options and maybe making some more adjustments to the test page. At the dev meeting yesterday we also talked a bit about the various clearfix options. The one thing to note is that none of the solutions is perfect. The current leaning is towards keeping fl-fix as is and providing a second clearfix option, which will be the best of the rest that we try. Let me know what you think.
