someone plz explain why we use "clear:both"

as i saw float applied only for "header" and "gallery", i wonder how 'float' concerns the element that is not a child of float.

Hi,

This article from CSS Tricks will explain how it works. The section named Clearing the Float will explain specifically how clear: both works.

Hope that helps
