Clearfix Me !
When you put floats in a div, you certainly noticed that the div doesn't really contain the floats.
First reflexe was to setting a display:table on the container, but, we don't want to alter it.
So, you can use pseudo elements :
.container:before, .container:after {
zoom: 1
content: "";
display: table;
}
.container:after {
clear: both;

Hmm, this one is better, I think :)
.cf:after {
content: '';
clear: both;
display: table;
}

I use this one:
.cleafix:after {
display: block;
content: '';
clear: both;
zoom: 1;
}Some people add:
height: 0;

Why the zoom: 1? It makes no sense for me.
I use this one:
.clfx:after {
clear: both;
content: " ";
display: block;
height: 0;
}

You're right. Reading my post now, I don't understand the zoom: 1;
Your .clfx:after seems perfect

i use this one for better x-browser compatibility:
.clearfix:after {
content: ".";
display: block;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
line-height: 0;
height: 0;
}
.clearfix { display: inline-block; }
html[xmlns] .clearfix { display: block; }
* html .clearfix { height: 1%; }

Some people use zoom: 1; or height: 1% to trigger hasLayout in IE. But as far as i know it's only needed for inline-block elements
You can read more about hasLayout here:
