CSS problem: Clearing Floats

I have a clear: both; applied to my footer div but it is not working when my
float left div expands lengthwise as content fills it ... it is still going
underneath the footer instead of pushing it down. Any ideas why? Thanks in
advance.

What float? What div? What footer? How should we know what happens in
your code without seeing it? Please post a URL.

Get rid of the height on your main-nav div...its the only container
using float left on the page so it must be that which you are reffering to.

Why give it a height in the first instance IF whats going in it is more
than the specified height <sigh>

Oh my! When I set up the page I made sure there wasn't height applied to that
div, somehow days later I added height to it (obviously I didn't mean to). I
didn't even think to check it because it wasn't there when I first set it up.
Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

Heights and widths happen when you drag borders of containers. It's a great
argument for never using Design view for placement adjustment.
