Project help

https://w.trhou.se/p3tyrwah0v This is a snapshot of my workspace. Why is my footer placed there and like that? Shouldn't it be on the bottom of the page? How would i place it there?. If i do place it there will it effect the other parts of the page?

Hey Haki Asllani,

I looked at your project and the issue is due to the float property that has been applied to the child elements. In this scenario the parent container height collapses, therefore, one way to fix this issue is by adding a clearfix.

First, add a parent div container around section tag and add a clearfix class on the parent container.

     <div class="clearfix">
        <section class="hspecs">
          <h3>Hellcat Specs</h3>
          <ul>
            <li>6.2-liter V8</li>
            <li>717 Horsepower</li>
            <li>650 lb-ft of torque</li>
          </ul>
        </section>

        <section class="rspecs">
          <h3>Hellcat Redeye Specs</h3>
          <div>
            <ul>
              <li>797 Horespower</li>
              <li>203mph max speed</li>
              <li>707 lb-ft of torque</li>
            </ul>
          </div>
        </section>
      </div>

 .clearfix::after {
      content: '';
      display: table;
      clear: both;
    }
