Clearing Floats The footer should sit below both the sidebar and main content. To clear a float, add the clear property to the element that needs to clear the float. This is usually the element after the floated element. The clear property can take the values of left , right , and both .
The clear CSS property sets whether an element must be moved below (cleared) floating elements that precede it. The clear property applies to floating and non-floating elements.
To clear the contents of a div element, set the element's textContent property to an empty string, e.g. div. textContent = '' .
The clear property is used to specify which side of floating elements are not allowed to float. It sets or returns the position of the element in relation to floating objects. If the element can fit horizontally in the space next to another element which is floated, it will.
Both means "every item in a set of two things". The two things being "left" and "right"
