Clearfix Action and FWP 6.0?

In Screencast #012 Thomas mentions the need to use Tim’s Clearfix Action on parent boxes that contain child boxes.

Does anyone know if that’s still needed in FWP 6.0?

Hi Raven,

yes you do and it’ll work.

Please note:

Clearfixing is nothing app specific, it is a matter of (web)fact, that parent boxes, that contain floating child items collapse to “no height” - that’s why you apply it.

RM - Clearfixing addresses a problem with how browsers display certain
kinds of items, so it’s not really a Freeway issue but a web-browser issue.

Thomas, I was having some issues with getting the Clearfix action to work…
maybe I’m doing something wrong, are you sure it’s 6 ready?
