if I have 6 divs,
div1 div2 div3 div4 div5 div6
if I use float:left for all, the divs are all near in one row.
how can to have put side by side in two rows;
i.e. first 3 near and other 3 near but below;
notice: I not want use other div for group first 3; but want use the style;
I tested with insertion on div4 the clear:left;
div4 ok I have in 2nd row but is all expanse and not have near the div5 and
div6.
howcan resolve?
------------------------------------------------
other: for to have
div1 div2 div3
three div near using the float and one external div that contain
all, is possible?
ask because with float of div1 div2 div3 the external div not work good

Try this:

div4 div5 div6

Or perhaps more economical still:
div1 div2 div3
div4 div5 div6
and style div4 with clear: left;

But OP said he tried this but had "all expanse and not have near the
div5 and div6".
I am puzzled by this. I wondered if the floats are not all the same
sizes and shapes and the problem is one of "float snagging". But I can't
think how, because clear on div4 should get it clear of all of divs 1, 2
and 3, so even if they are different heights, div5 should make it to the
right edge of div4.
As far as I can see what you're suggesting and what the OP originally
tried should work, unless this is just an IE bug or something.
artev: I think you need to post a URL to your test page.

I assume you would have something like div {float: left;} in your css in
the head or linked file. You just style the particular div4 one with the
extra instruction because that is the one tha you want to clear the
previous floats. Or, put it another way, yes, it should be styled float:
left just as all the other divs are so styled.

Good idea!
Given OP's further question to me, he *may* be inline css'ing all the
divs except div4 and using clear only on that one and forgetting or not
knowing to also float it?

Or else: float:left;clear:left;
The Spec says (somewhere IIRC) that the order of declarations does not
matter.

Why doesn't the clear clear the float?

so I have

div5 div6
see my code (Re at myself);
also I want use not new div (must test

div4 with the float:left;clear:left; applied, _does_ clear and is
shifted down and _then_ floated left.
All divs are floated left. Perhaps I don't understand the question.

First, about the blue border. In good modern browsers, you can get what
you want by overflow: hidden on the container for your floats. This will
not work for Internet Explorer 6 though. Internet Explorer 6 has a
natural propensity to grow height for its floated children when it has
an explicit width assigned to it. Even though this is a default, you
need to put it in. So add to your class "div0-style", width: 100%; and
it will grow height and the blue will enclose all the divs.
Second, the other problem is exceedingly difficult because of the
hopeless state of IE6's float handling. floats 4, 5 and 6 will not drop
to the next line by the method I recommended (or as others recommended)
in IE6 on your sort of code. You will get 4 dropping but leaving 1, 2,
3, 5 and 6 on the top line. Crazy and infuriating, yes. So you need a
strategy that is rather different for IE 6.
The best I can do for you at the moment is something like this that
works on my test in IE6 just now:
(Gus, I still owe you an example too...)

As somebody pointed out over at aww (where BTW this question has been
multiposted) this appears to be a bug in IE, all versions.
The cleared element does clear the floated elements above it (in the
source) but the following floats incorrectly float above the clearing
element. IE is breaking rule 5 of float behaviour.

1.
You are increasing your difficulties by using the Transitional Doctype
which calls the browser's Quirks Mode - it's best to use Strict.
2.
IE does not support Float and Clear properly. Your condition of not
introducing other divs in order to make IE render properly is not
acceptable to me. You search for "IE float problems" and see if you can
find relief. An IE group may be best to ask?
3.
Your code works with Fx, Opera and Safari, but not with IE.
Adding the first clearing div will make it also work with IE.
Adding the second clearing div will place all divs inside "div0-style".
This is your new markup:
TEXT 01
TEXT 02
TEXT 03
TEXT 04
TEXT 05
TEXT 06
I'm out of this thread.

Fine, if your cup of tea for a restricted problem like this is to use 9
divs instead of 8 in the attempt to appease IE6.
Do you realise Gus, that there are only so many divs on earth, they are
not an endless supply. My organization, Divpeace, is devoted to their
conservation. (If you or Harlan or Richard care to join, please send $US

Honestly Gus... I am just hoping someone will front up with a bet as
they begin to doubt me so I can make a quid on the deal*. (I have to
look up some old emails and find the example...).
-----------
*Which reminds me of a Jewish parrot joke:
David Bronstein had a parrot that talked really well and could pray
aloud. He told his mates at the synagogue that he had a Jewish parrot
that prayed aloud. They laughed and did not believe him. He bet them it
was true. Wagers were organised. Next Sat he took the bird down to the
hall behind the synagogue as arranged, his mates all smiling and shaking
their heads. He puts the bird on the edge of a lectern and steps back
and says, "Pray!"
Total silence.
"Pray!"
Again, total silence.
His mates begin to jeer and demand their money. He pays out big and
takes the bird home.
He is furious. He grabs the bird by the neck. Do you know how much I
lost because of your little stunt? And I am a laughing stock already! He
tells the parrot to take a good look around and enjoy its last breath of
air.
As he squeezes its neck, the bird suddenly screeches out: "Hey, Stop!
Think! Think of the odds they will give you if you arrange another bet
for next week!"

Nope. Transitional itself does not trigger quirks mode. The lack of a
system identifier (the URL to a DTD) does, with HTML at least. XHTML is
different. With a system identifier specified, or XHTML, you get "almost
standards mode" in most browsers.
That's what wikipedia says anyway :-)

This one works in all as well without any conditional, floats or
clearing divs:

Really, yours is just fine. It's all a matter of preference.

Seriously, don't go to any bother. I'm sure that there is some new

Try putting "clear:right;" on div3.

You're both right, because "almost strict mode" is a different flavour
of quirks mode.
Strict is the only sensible data point since there are no standards or
specifications for anything else (nor even drafted apologies, excuses,
plastic imitations, etc.)

I know. I'm wrong again. Isn't the first time and won't be the last.
From a chart that I have, I've taken the pertinent portions:
FF/Safari IE6/Op7.1+
HTML 4.01 Strict S S
HTML 4.01 Strict w URI S S
HTML 4.01 Transitional Q Q
HTML 4.01 Transitional S S
with URI
XHTML 1.0 Strict S S
XHTML 1.0 Strict w XML S Q
XHTML 1.0 Transitional S S
XHTML 1.0 Transitional S Q
with XML
And yet, read the further notes I have attached:
* Obsolete Elements (deprecated in HTML 4.01) - using them requires
"Transitional/loose DTD"
IFRAME | APPLET | BASEFONT | CENTER | DIR | FONT | ISINDEX | MENU
| S | STRIKE | U
The "Transitional/loose DTD" has no further use today for any newly
created documents. It was a temporary measure in days past to accomodate
legacy browsers' quirky behavior. Those browsers are no longer in use
today, hence don't use Transitional/loose and don't use the deprecated
elements.
One major difference Strict vs. Transitional/loose is that in Strict,
only % block may be the child of Body, whereas in Transitional/loose, %
flow (%block; | %inline;) may be the child of Body.
No matter if there are errors in the notes, the bottom line is:
1. Use Strict doctype with URI (unless there is a very good reason
otherwise).
2. Don't use deprecated elements (unless there is a very good reason
otherwise).

That won't do anything if all the divs are floated left.

Besides, div3 is not the problem child, those following div4 are.

Okay, then how about this:
div1
div2
div3
div4
div5
div6
....ie, just don't float the 3rd div.

The *reason* OP was using float in the first place is simply obscure and
so your changing focus to simpler inline is good...

Not sure why you put that extra div around all of it, but I suppose it
it depends on the particular content and styling whether that would give
the desired results. It could work, given the right conditions.

Yes it works and the reason for the wrapper is, as per the OP, to place
a blue border around the whole thing and to have everything inside it.

Yeah, as Gus Richter suggested, the OP indicated he didn't want to change
