Hello Richard, I do not see your code posted to the forum, but as for the clearfix; you generally have a div class .clearfix located in your css file with the element clear:both; You would then call this in your html file after the floated element like this: 

<div class="clearfix"></div>

This will clear most issues after floated elements on your page. For more information you can visit this page: http://www.sitepoint.com/clearing-floats-overview-different-clearfix-methods/

I hope this helps!
