Okay, so the way I expect this to act, with my understanding of positioning,
floats, and clears, is not the way it acts. I want to know if there is a way I
can get it to act right.
Basically, Is there a way to get an element to only clear floated elements
within the same parent containing element as it is in? I thought position
relative would do this, but it doesn't.
example (notice how the red border boxes fall down below the "Side" box):
<head>
<title>ClearTest</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
#Main .right{
clear: right;
float: right;
width: 100px;
margin: 5px;
border: thin solid #FF0000;
}
#Main {
width: 500px;
}
#Side {
float: right;
width: 200px;
margin-left: 10px;
border: thin solid #0000FF;
height: 500px;
}
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="Side">Just a box floated :right outside of the "Main" to mess up the
clears on the "right" boxes</div>
<div id="Main">
<div class="right">Some image or something.</div>
<div class="right">Some image or something.</div>
<div class="right">Some image or something.</div>
<div class="right">Some image or something.</div>
<div class="right">Some image or something.</div>
