Why clear : Both Is required ?



Why clear : Both  Is required ? Where we are use this Clear Both ?

Some times we want to start the content from new line . Due to the float property which we might have given for the previous div it will start from the same line  . In this case  we have to Use clear Both Property

Exmaple :
<html>
    <head>
        <style>
    .box{
        width:50px;
        height:50px;
        border:1px solid red;
        float:left;
    }
    .box1{
        width:50px;
        height:50px;
        border:1px solid blue;
        float:left;
    }
    .clear{
        clear:both;
       
        }
   
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id= "line1">
            <div class="box"></div>
            <div class="box"></div>
            <div class="box"></div>
        </div>
        <div class="clear"></div>
         <div id= "line2">
            <div class="box1"></div>
            <div class="box1"></div>
            <div class="box1"></div>
         </div>
           
    </body>
</html>


 We need 3 boxes in first line and 3 boxes in second line . Be default it will look like this




 To align this boxes we will give ""float:left"" property for the  boxes in line1 .

 If we give float property for boxes in line 1 then it will look like this .

 

Once we don't have any float property for the boxes in line 2 . So now let us give float property and see what happens . See the following pic .






 But we don't like this . We want 3 boxes in the line 1 and 3 boxes in the line 2.
 How can we solve this problem ? Here is the solution .


 Insert a new div between line 1 and line 2 with a class. ( class name you can give whatever you want . )


for this give "clear : both "

Now let us see what happens .




After the Clear Both


And that it done . Hope you understand where and why Clear property we used .
