7,060 PointsMy footer collapsed and is ignoring the body. What container do I need to Clearfix?
I;m trying to get my layout working, but I added floats to my paragraph elements to make a two column layout. This jumped my footer flush with the bottom of my main header. I have tried adding clear fix to a couple of different elements but nothing is fixing the problem.

parent::after {
content: ' ';
display: block;
clear: both;
}
or if you have:
clearfix::after {
content: ' ';
display: block;
clear: both;
}
in your css code, just add the class clearfix to the parent element.
