title: Why can you clear floating elements but not absolutely positioned elements?
body: <p>So, if you add <code>float: left;</code> to an element it is taken out of the flow right? And as far as I know this is also the case with <code>position: absolute;</code> so how is it that you can clear floated elements with a clearfix, but you can't do anything about absolutely positioned elements? What is the difference in how each are removed from the content flow?</p>
