just to clarify: "clear:none" means "don't clear anything - position this element next to floated blocks according to normal flow". "clear:left" means "if this element would normally be positioned next to a float:left block, put it below the float:left block instead". "clear:right" means "if this element would normally be positioned next to a float:right block, put it below the float:right block instead". "clear:both" means "if this element would normally be positioned next to any floated block/s, put it below the floated block/s instead".
