CSS clear float

Today I saw an article about clearing floats, and suddenly my brain short-circuited, eh? Why clear float? Forgive my ignorance, I searched and it turned out to be this, and I found out the original notes. Alas, I already had records, and I used them frequently. After using them for a long time, I even forgot the principles. Well, to prevent myself from making the same mistake again, I’d better summarize it myself! Not much to say, the code is proof!

Well, the renderings of each browser running are as follows:

A-B-C are the child elements in the I element respectively. If there is no floating, they are laid out according to the standard document flow (block-level elements from top to bottom, inline elements from left to right). A web page needs a reasonable layout to be able to To attract users, we need to display more information in a limited space. Sometimes a, b, and c need to be arranged in a row. We don’t use the fancy Flexbox (flexible box layout) because IE8 and below do not support it. You If you want to ask me how I know, I’ll give you the URL http://caniuse.com/#home and search for it yourself! In additionIE does not support VW and VH units, please be careful with children! Normally

We don’t need to set the width and height of the parent element, and we want it to be adaptive in width and height, but what will happen if we add float: left; to the child element? Let’s talk with pictures:

Where did the parent element go? ! Well, here we need to explain the principle of floating. Let’s use an analogy. Forgive me for my lack of imagination. We imagine the parent element as a box that can automatically shrink. When we keep putting child boxes inside, When the time comes, it will be automatically stretched. When you add float (the original meaning in English is to float) to the child element, it is equivalent to the child element floating above the parent box. Obviously, the parent box will automatically shrink when it is empty. It went back, now what we have to do is how to prevent it from shrinking back:

1. Add overflow: hidden to the parent element; well, to talk about the pros and cons of this method, I just checked it. It may be unfriendly to SEO, but I don’t have any experience in this regard to how serious the impact will be. Just explain it like this, and I'll come back and revise it when I encounter it.

.wrapper{width:50%;background: cornflowerblue;border:2px solid black;overflow:hidden;}

2. Add an empty div below the child element

<span style="color: #008080;">1</span> <span style="color: #0000ff;"><</span><span style="color: #800000;">body</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">></span>
<span style="color: #008080;">2</span>         <span style="color: #0000ff;"><</span><span style="color: #800000;">div </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">class</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">="wrapper"</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">></span>
<span style="color: #008080;">3</span>             <span style="color: #0000ff;"><</span><span style="color: #800000;">div </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">class</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">="box1"</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">></</span><span style="color: #800000;">div</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">></span>
<span style="color: #008080;">4</span>             <span style="color: #0000ff;"><</span><span style="color: #800000;">div </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">class</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">="box2"</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">></</span><span style="color: #800000;">div</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">></span>
<span style="color: #008080;">5</span>             <span style="color: #0000ff;"><</span><span style="color: #800000;">div </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">class</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">="box3"</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">></</span><span style="color: #800000;">div</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">></span>
<span style="color: #008080;">6</span>             <span style="color: #0000ff;"><</span><span style="color: #800000;">div </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">class</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">="box4"</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">></</span><span style="color: #800000;">div</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">></span>
<span style="color: #008080;">7</span>         <span style="color: #0000ff;"></</span><span style="color: #800000;">div</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">></span>
<span style="color: #008080;">8</span>     <span style="color: #0000ff;"></</span><span style="color: #800000;">body</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">></span>

box4 is the empty element we added. The specific writing method of this empty element is as follows: (Some are compatible ~ Some are compatible ~ Some are compatible ~ The evil IE6 does not support it because it has a default minimum height)

<span style="color: #008080;">1</span> .box4{clear:both;height: 0;overflow: hidden;}

3. Use pseudo-class selectors to achieve the purpose of clearing floats. This is the method I use in my work, and it works every time! (Sorry, I dug a hole for myself just now and I am still in the hole. I will try again...)

.wrapper:after{clear:both;content:".";display:block;height: 0;overflow: hidden;visibility: hidden;}    

Well, okay, it’s like the above, content: '.'; display: block; is indispensable for the five major browsers, visibility: hidden; is used to allow the browser to parse it, but the user cannot see it.
