while discussing a margin issue in the css forest group, i accidentally discovered that overflow can also be used to clear floats. hey, this method is not only easy to use, but also supported by ff, op, and ie7. from now on, you can say goodbye to the long compatibility another poor method of clearing floats in ff.
the method is really simple, just add the overflow attribute to the label that needs to be cleared.
css code
ul {
list-style: none;
height: auto;
margin: 0;
p adding: 0;
background-color: #436973;
}
li {
float: left;
width: 80px;
height: 80px;
background-color: #83b1df;
}
.demo {
clear: both;
border: 1px solid #ff00ff;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
.overflow {
overflow: auto;
zoom: 1;
background-color: #43ff73;
}
ul {
list-style: none;
height: auto;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background-color: #436973;
}
li {
float: left;
width: 80px;
height: 80px;
background-color: #83b1df;
}
.demo {
clear: both;
border: 1px solid #ff00ff;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
.overflow {
overflow: auto;
zoom: 1;
background-color: #43ff73;
}html code
<div class="demo"> <ul class="overflow"> <li>1</li> <li>2</li> <li>3</li> <li>4</li> <li>5</li> <li>6</li> <li>7</li> <li>8</li> <li>9</li> </ul> </div> <div class="demo"> <ul> <li>1</li> <li>2</li> <li>3</li> <li>4</li> <li>5</li> <li>6</li> <li>7</li> <li>8</li> <li>9</li> </ul> </div>
where zoom is prepared for ie6.

</html>note: i forgot a very important point. not all overflow attributes have the same effect. for example, the visible attribute can only work on ie. an example can be seen here:

</html>there is a problem in this case. if there is a height and the content exceeds the height, defining auto or hidden may have some unwanted effects. appear. here is a solution: for ie6 and below, you can directly define the height; for ie7, ff, and op, you can define min-height.
css code:
overflow
{
height:auto;
_height:200px;
min-height:200px;
verflow:auto;
zoom:1;
_overflow:visible;
}
