thanks alot Christian for your answer, u given me data that i wasent aware
about.

secondly, you should consider using DIV as a Clearing Element.
a BR is a semantic element.
if youl try to reuse your layout again (or part of him that includes the BR
element), and you'll no longer need a clearing element there, youll notice a
problem- youll have a Line Break element.
if youll define the clear inside a DIV, and then delete the clear out of
him, ull have just a div and nothing else.

BR will hurm your layout. a div is just a div- no effect at all on the
layout.

What you (and everyone else) need is display:table and
display:table-cell, but unfortunately these features are just not
supported in enough browsers yet. Therefore, you'll probably have to
settle for a less than perfect solution.

honestly, this isn't that bad. Just spitting out a <br> after every
third item (count%3) will take only a couple lines of code, and is
probably the lightest way to achieve this for what works today.
