[drupal-devel] css clear use

[Larry Garfield]

I've run into the same problem.  It makes table-free column-based layouts 
extremely difficult when a div in the main content area clears to below the 
bottom of the left nav bar (itself a float-left div).  Why it should I don't 
know, but it drives me batty. :-)

Is there a better way of handling it, or some work-around?
