I believe not. I've use something like that, for example, when I have a float inside a float for example. I.e.: We have a child element inside a parent element and this parent element is floated to the left, but we want to float the child element to the right. If I don't clear the float on the child element, he will float to the left as well, so, to make the child element on the right side, of our parent left floated element we have to, on the child: 1st)clear the float, 2nd)float the element to the right. I could be wrong however, since this is just my experience talking, not knowledge so, to knowledge source: http://css.maxdesign.com.au/floatutorial/index.htm Regards, Márcio ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [[email protected]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
