This is my html:
<div class="header_wrapper">
<div class="main_nav">
<div>TEst</div>
<div>TEst</div>
<div>TEst</div>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
As you can see I want to build a menu with floating divs. Doing so the background of main_nav disappears.
.header_wrapper{
height:129px;
background:url('images/layout/header.png') no-repeat #1f1f1f;
border-bottom:1px solid #1f66ad
}
.header_wrapper .main_nav{
position:relative;
top:77px; left:336px;
width:750px;
background:red;
}
.header_wrapper .main_nav div{
float:left;
}
.clear{
clear:both;
}
I tried to use clear:both, however the background is still gone. Any ideas why?
Adding overflow:auto;
to main_nav brings the background back.
