You don't have to even clear anything if you the parent div is floated right such:
<div id="parent"> <div id="one">one</div> <div id="two">two</div> <div id="content">Content</div> </div> ................................ div#parent {float:left} div#one {float:left} div#two {float:left} that would work just fine without need to any clear at all!
