I understand that firefox needs the clear:both; to display the photo.
Please can someone explain why? I thought clear:both reset the float command and as far as I can tell this part of the code doesn't have a float command.
Thank you.

20,160 PointsWell, I thought I would take a crack at it but I didn't get very far. It says that there is "a problem in the CSS" that is causing it. There is no mention about what that problem is, although several people besides you seem to be asking about it. Maybe someone will be able to shed some light on it.
You are right about the clear property. It does keep floats from happening around an element.

20,160 PointsThe video your post is associated with does not have any mention of this. If you can direct me to the video your question derives from I would like to see it.
