Yeah, that would work in this situation, but in my actual implementation there
is quite a bit more going on. I really feel like you SHOULD be able to define a
clear to being relative to it's parent box, or being relative to the entire
page. Just as you can with relative positioning. CSS3 should take this into
consideration. Mr. Meyer, can you push this one through please? ;-)
Any other insights from anyone?
