The clear property

The clear property cancels flowing around one element by another, specified by the float property. It can take the following values: none (cancels the effect of itself), both (cancels float simultaneously on the right and left), left (cancels float on the left), right (cancels float on the right)

Syntax

selector {
	clear: none or left or right or both
}

Example

Let's cancel the text from flowing around the image left side:

<img class="image" src="bg.png" alt="">
<div class="txt">
<p>
	text text text text text text
	text text text text text text
	text text text text text text
	text text text text text text
</p>
	</div>

.image {
	float: left;
	padding-right: 10px;
}
.txt {
	clear: left;
}

Example

Now let's cancel flowing around of image by text from right:

<img class="image" src="bg.png" alt="">
<div class="txt">
	<p>
		text text text text text text
		text text text text text text
		text text text text text text
		text text text text text text
	</p>
</div>

.image {
	float: right;
	padding-right: 10px;
}
.txt {
	clear: right;
}

Example

Let's cancel an effect of the clear property itself:

<img class="image" src="bg.png" alt="">
<div class="txt">
	<p>
		text text text text text text
		text text text text text text
		text text text text text text
		text text text text text text
	</p>
</div>

.image {
	float: right;
	padding-right: 10px;
}
.txt {
	clear: none;
}
