Re: Help getting footer to clear sidebar

[justincarroll]

No, I can’t set things to the same height because that’s a cheat. Let’s say the administrator of the site puts complicated content in every story (say the articles are art directed).

I wrapped the two .one-half divs like you mentioned in a class called “container” and gave it a clearfix. Take a look at the results … http://3circlestudio.com/temp/layout.htm

It looks like any clear is going to cause a problem for the sidebar. My idea is that a solution is to ensure that anything that needs cleared on the left needs to be floated and have a width on it. Like this:

.container {

background: red;

float: left;

width: 640px;

}

I could be wrong, though. What do you think?
