| <div class="wrapper"> | |
| <h1>display: flow-root example</h1> | |
| <p>A new value of the display property that will enable containers to clear floats. <em>Needs Chrome Canary or Firefox Nightlies.</em></p> | |
| <h2>Default behavior</h2> | |
| <p>The following item is a wrapper containing a block that is floated left.</p> | |
| <div class="container container1"> | |
| <div class="item"></div> | |
| Example one | |
| </div> | |
| <p>The border on the containing block only wraps the text as the floated element is taken out of flow.</p> | |
| <p>The content following the box will also rise up and wrap around the float unless we set it to clear.</p> | |
| <h2 class="clear">The clearfix hack</h2> | |
| <p>In this next item we use a clearfix hack to cause the wrapper to clear the floated item.</p> | |
| <div class="container container2"> | |
| <div class="item"></div> | |
| Example two | |
| </div> | |
| <h2>Using display: flow-root</h2> | |
| <p>CSS now has a way to cause elements to clear floats. We set the value of display to flow-root and our floated box is cleared.</p> | |
| <div class="container container3"> | |
| <div class="item"></div> | |
| Example three | |
