The following values can be be appplied:

• none: The element is not moved down to clear past floating elements (the default).
• left: The element is moved down to clear past left floated elements.
• right: The element is moved down to clear past right floated elements.

Example 1

Making an img element move down a left floated h1 element.

.div1 h1 {
  float: left;
}

.div1 img {
  clear: left;
}

The image below matches the code example. The h1 element is floated to the left due to float: left. The img element is then moved under the h1 element due to clear: left.
