"clear: both;"

Hello, for some reason, even though I have placed the "clear: both;" element under footer. The footer still appears next to the images and not at the bottom.

We are going to need to see your markup. Clear:both; is not an element - it is a declaration. Please supply some markup for us to see whats going on. Thanks! Good luck!

Nice. I figured it was something semantic. Always make sure to close your declarations with a semi-colon. Or use a CSS validator and it will catch the errors.
