No, that's even worse. That will put the "other"-div between the Left and

Right. I can't decide why it does that...

That doesn't make any sense, really.
If the third div has style="clear:both;", the 4th div can't go
up between the first and second, unless you give it
position:absolute;

That's what I thought. I does that, however, in Firefox. I sort of makes
sense, using your own idea of empty things not being rendered. Plus some
Firefox magic...

I didn't say empty things wouldn't be rendered, I said elements
without volume.
But <div style="clear:both;"></div> does have volume. I use it
on all of my pages, and it works in all browsers too.

OK, fine. But a div without content could be said to have no volume.

It doesn't work for me. Some sort of space-time malfunction I guess...

My <br style='clear:both'> solution works for me, so I'll use that.
