    <p>So I'm trying to do floats and I need to use <code>:after</code> technique, but it won't work. I need to clear the floats after the red and blue box. I've tried everything. Here's my code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!doctype html&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt;Floats!&lt;/title&gt; &lt;style type="text/css"&gt; /* Eric Meyer's Reset CSS v2.0 - http://cssreset.com */ html,body,div,span,applet,object,iframe,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,p,blockquote,pre,a,abbr,acronym,address,big,cite,code,del,dfn,em,img,ins,kbd,q,s,samp,small,strike,strong,sub,sup,tt,var,b,u,i,center,dl,dt,dd,ol,ul,li,fieldset,form,label,legend,table,caption,tbody,tfoot,thead,tr,th,td,article,aside,canvas,details,embed,figure,figcaption,footer,header,hgroup,menu,nav,output,ruby,section,summary,time,mark,audio,video{border:0;font-size:100%;font:inherit;vertical-align:baseline;margin:0;padding:0}article,aside,details,figcaption,figure,footer,header,hgroup,menu,nav,section{display:block}body{line-height:1}ol,ul{list-style:none}blockquote,q{quotes:none}blockquote:before,blockquote:after,q:before,q:after{content:none}table{border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0} /* apply a natural box layout model to all elements */ *, *:before, *:after { -moz-box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; box-sizing: border-box; } @media only screen and (min-width: 768px){ html, body { margin-top: 15%; background: #000000; } .wrapper { width: 90%; margin: 0 auto; padding: 1em; background: #3e3d3b; color: #fff; } .box { border-width: 4px; border-style: solid; height: 100px; margin-bottom: 1em; } .red { background: #ab331c; border-color: #6f2011; width: 32%; float: right; margin-right: 34%; } .box red:after{ content: "."; visibility: hidden; display: block; height: 0; clear: both; } .blue { background: #4d6bb6; border-color: #243255; width: 66%; } .green { background: #6bbf85; border-color: #2c4e36; width: 32%; margin-left: 34%; } .purple { background: #9a74bb; border-color: #503d62; width: 32%; float:right; margin-top: -18%; } .orange { background: #c09344; border-color: #664e23; width: 32%; float:left; } .yellow { background: #f0e192; border-color: #726a44; height: 212px; float: right; width: 32%; margin-top: -17.5%; } .hotpink { background: #d15ecf; border-color: #612b60; width: 32%; float:left; } } &lt;/style&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;div class="wrapper"&gt; &lt;div class="box hotpink" id="red"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="box red"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- &lt;div style="clear: both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; --&gt; &lt;div class="box yellow"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="box blue"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- &lt;div style="clear: both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; --&gt; &lt;div class="box orange"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="box green"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="box purple"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>The divs with "clear" works for me, but the :after pseudo selector does not. I don't know if I'm targeting the wrong element or what. So far I've tried (for the red box):</p> <pre><code>.box.red:after .box:after .red:after .box .red:after .box red:after </code></pre> <p>So far nothing has worked. Please help.</p> <p>EDIT: Here's the <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/vQRRU/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/vQRRU/</a></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
