Clearfix CSS from Paul Irish's HTML5 Boilerplate

/*
* Clearfix: contain floats
*
* For modern browsers
* 1. The space content is one way to avoid an Opera bug when the
* contenteditable attribute is included anywhere else in the document.
* Otherwise it causes space to appear at the top and bottom of elements
* that receive the clearfix class.
* 2. The use of table rather than block is only necessary if using
* :before to contain the top-margins of child elements.
*/

.clearfix:before,
.clearfix:after {
content: " ";
display: table;
}

.clearfix:after {
clear: both;
}

/*
* For IE 6/7 only
* Include this rule to trigger hasLayout and contain floats.
*/

.clearfix {
*zoom: 1;
}
