Float Clearing should use The New Clearfix about front-end-development-guidelines HOT 5 CLOSED

Not sure how I feel about browser specific CSS hacks, as that's what I set out to avoid, but I will definitely mention this.

more recent (last week) and now used by html5 boilerplate: http://nicolasgallagher.com/micro-clearfix-hack/

from front-end-development-guidelines.

I don't see the point of using a bunch of code to clearfix when I can use overflow. IF I come to a situation where I can't use overflow, I'll use clearfix. But like most people, I prefer simple code over multi-line code (though mine is still not as large as the one at perishable press... 4 lines tops).

+1 for the .clearfix, works great and for practical use I have switched to only use this one (mixed the overflow: hidden and .clearfix techniques before, and if you have to refactor the code a year later or so, it's a pain in the a** because you've forgotten where you used the overflow thing and where not^^)

Fixed locally, pending commit.
