Add-on:

I'm more or less aware that:

Quoting:
"I mean contain in the vertical dimension: floats are removed from the flow,
and as such don't affect the height of the parent element, unless that
parent element is set to contain those floats, by having a clearing element
inside, or use a property that establishes a new block formatting context,
per CSS2.1:9.4.1"

I believe this is something to do with this.

I have added display:block; property to the container. In order to respond
to: "a property that establishes a new block formatting context" - but isn't
this?

What is a "clearing element inside" in this context ? (is it something to do
with the clear fix method?)


Thanks again,
Márcio
