css content property

[CameronDuthie]

Hi,

I was hoping someone would be able to help me i’ve come across this css property a few times now and was curious about what it does? I was hoping someone might be able to enlighten me.

#div {
content: “.”;
}

Thanks,

It’ll just add a . in your content.

You’ll usually find that just adding a “.” is usually used for a clear fix hack, to clear floating elements.

Thanks for the advice guys. I found using “.” did fix my floating elements. Still don’t understand why it fixed it, but it did. :)
