Easy clearing or my preferred method overflow: hidden; is good, but that’s really for when there’s nothing *after* those elements in that container. If you do have something after the floated elements like a block of text or something, you can simply apply the clearing to that.

oh ok, great. Thanks for clearing that up. The only reason I ask is because I’ve never seen it done that way before. I’ve always used the Easy Clearing method documented at positioniseverything.net, or overflow:auto for the containing div. But I am always looking for the easiest and best method for clearing floats. Thanks for responding…

I find it hard to imagine how you’d produce a CSS-based site that works properly in all browsers *without* using width: 100% and clear: left; to be honest. Using clearing is an absolute must when floating elements (it stops them overlapping the content below), and using width: 100%; will throw Internet Explorer 6 into hasLayout mode which will fix some display weirdness with certain elements.

Hello, I was just curious… I was looking at your source code, and seeing what technique you were using for your layout, specifically in regards to clearing floats. I saw that you use in some of your containers width:100% and also clear:left. Have you found this to be useful across browsers? Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

Pretty good. I would suggest a “bad words” array of passwords that can’t be used. For example, “password”, “123456″, etc. will automatically fail.

These things are OK, but I don’t think they should ever force you to adhere to its guidelines.

I always use a password comprised of 11 seemingly random characters (I have a clever little formula), which realistically is never going to be cracked. The beauty of my formula is it’s unique for each site but always memorable, meaning even if it’s compromised it’s no good for any other domain.

These tools prevent me from using that formula, which causes me some minor headaches when logging into those sites. Often I just don’t bother.
