I don't get the 'clear' property

I use it, but I don't really understand...

For example in an id #header. I'll have a floating left logo and navigation floating to the right. I will use a ' clear: both ' in #header if the logo and navigation don't collide or be under the other. It works, but how? Please help me understand this...

If you have columns (left + right) div and footer div

Property float are applied to your columns and if you apply a clear both to your footer, it will not allow anything to float left or right (both) to float next to it. This is the main reason why the float property exist.

It is not a margin or a block. It is just to restore document normal flow of floating elements.

Second, we can force an element to contain floats (photo for example).

The best way to understand how it works, is to play with div boxes in a simple XHTML document to see how the elements react with each other.

  • I don't get the feature crossed in my ipad 3 and another feature (ios 9.3)

    Please help me as soon as possible... I don't get the 9.3 iOS feature in my iPad 3 also, I don't get multitask... and I am not too clear other features

    It is QUITE correct!

    All new features are for the new iPad iPad iPad/Air 2 Mini, iPhone 5 and iPod touch 5th generation or later version.

    No older iPads (2, 3, 4 or 1st gen Mini) won't get any new cool features of iOS 9 and only, probably, only a small subset of iOS of Basic 9 has iOS 9 forward.

    More iOS 9.3 is a pretty lite, ho hum release without real traits useful for ANY iDevice and, practically, none for older iDevices.

    Some features old iPad models got, it is only but a few features and improvements.

    I have not updated to iOS 9.3 yet on ANY of my iDevices, and I don't think I'll do it again.

    Was not only the deployment of iOS 9.3 a debacle, the entire update, IMSO, is a total non-starter.

    Not worth the effort and time for users more older iDevice.

    Older IPads do not have enough material power to drive ALL the latest new and cool features.

    This will only get worse for older iPads as time passes.

    I don't see iOS 10 (whenever that will come) supporting ALL older iDevices longer!

    It is what it is!

    I pay the annual fee, and I don't get the edition...

    I suspect that you will need Acrobat (Standard or Pro). You can purchase a license (perpetual or subscription). Download the installation program, then let it install the desktop application.

    Acrobat is not a 'cloud' application or mobile device (Finally, a computer laptop/netbook/ultrabook/surface pro / thingy is 'mobile' - but no tablets)

  • I am importing Favorites in Internet Explorer 9. If the bookmark has a subdirectory, I don't get the links in the subdirectory.

    I am running Mozilla Firefox under Windows 7 Ultimate 20.0.1.
    I'm trying to import favorites from Internet Explorer 9.0.15.
    If the bookmark has a subdirectory, I don't get any of the links in the subdirectory.

    It didn't happen on my other computers:
    Internet Explorer 8 Windows XP Professional
    Internet Explorer 9 on Windows 7 Professional

    This incomplete import sometimes for unknown reasons.

    You can manually export your IE Favorites and then import them into Firefox by using an HTML file as intermediate format. This thread has the steps: only 1/3 of my imported IE Favorites. How can I move the rest?

  • Haptic: I don't get the haptic of friends

    Hello

    I don't get a haptic or notification when 'friend' sends me a drawing or a heartbeat. I have to manually, go to 'friends' and click on a specific "friend" to see what they have done for me or heart beat.

    This works for LITERALLY everything.

    I get a haptic and the red dot for a text/imessage, but NO red dot or haptic for a drawing.

    I send stuff to my wife who is sitting right next to me and she get a haptic and a pop-up notification when the watch is in use.

    I do not get one red dot, I don't get a haptic, I do not have a pop up of friends.

    I reset the phone, watch and nothing.

    Any idea?

    I thought about it!

    Even though I keep my watch on mute, you must activate the ALERTS all the way up to. FIXED

  • Get the page property top of page on the navigation stack

    Hello world

    I have a navigation stack, and I push pages top (sometimes even several times the same page, just with a different content)

    The pages are custom pages

    Now I have the problem that I need to get a specific page in the foreground property, and the property must be referenced from the navigation pane

    so my code that looks like this:

    //****************
    //***CustomPage.qml
    //********
    import bb.cascades 1.2
    Page {
        property variant titleLabel
    
        Container {}
    }
    
    ///This code is in my navigation pane, in a function
    
    var top = navigationPane.top; //top is a custom page, CustomPage
    
    //how to reference top.titleLabel ?
    

    I can't put it, I can't get it. I guess it's because the top is an unknown class . How can I do?

    Ah, the joys of debugging :/

    Found the solution for my problem: restarted Momentics, restarted my debugging device, now it works as expected (and it costs my 3 hours of my life)

    Sorry for the inconvenience

  • Can someone tell me why I don't get the info from my form?

    I must of messed up something in the code... which would not be surprising that I'm a relative newbie. I get the email of the form & the 'mailto', but there is no info in the two methods.

    The form is here: http://www.webrevamps.com/

    I wonder also how I'd go on a page created when they have completed the form, so I can thank them. As it is now, when they send the form, the page remains the same... it only clears the form fields once they submit.

    Thank you!

    You must also change the length of the field I think.
