title: ClearFix vs Overflow
body: <p>Its the standard float issue. You have a bunch of floating elements inside a parent container div. Since the childs are floating, the parent doesnt expand to include all of them.</p>
  
  <p>I know about the clearfix solution as well as setting the overflow property on the parent container div to "auto" or "hidden".<a href="http://www.quirksmode.org/css/clearing.html" rel="noreferrer">http://www.quirksmode.org/css/clearing.html</a>
  To me setting the overflow method seems much nicer as its just one property. What I want to understand is when does the clearfix approach has advantage over this method cause I see it being used extremely often.</p>
  
  <p>P.S. I am not concerned about IE6.</p>
