Ha! Float question?

HTML & CSS
1

I’m not failing to take something into account am I? The below text and layout will always be set up like this. Via some simple testing I see no need to clear this float. Everything seems to perform just fine without the clear (or containing). But before I spend a considerable amount of time taking all the non-breaking spaces out of one of my poorly coded sites I thought I’d check.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>{ visibility: inherit; } Testing</title>
<style type="text/css">
a.right{
float:right;
}
</style> 
</head>
<body>

<p><a href="#" class="right">Link</a>Some Text<br>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Quisque tempor. Nam in libero vel nisi accumsan euismod. Quisque quis neque. Donec condimentum, enim convallis vestibulum varius, quam mi accumsan diam, sollicitudin ultricies odio ante vitae purus. Etiam ultricies quam. Vestibulum turpis turpis, fermentum ut, accumsan quis, tempor at, ipsum. Nam felis elit, sollicitudin id, ultrices faucibus, fringilla vel, dui. Aliquam tincidunt iaculis eros. Sed in lorem. Nullam eu enim. Quisque tristique pretium diam. Fusce tempor sollicitudin ligula. Donec purus eros, mattis quis, mattis vestibulum, congue quis, felis. Nulla facilisi. Nam ultricies posuere justo. In feugiat.</p>

Yes, the BR in there should do the trick. You are not clearing anything per se, but it will break the line and will position the following text below that link.

OK cool thats what I figured thanks!

Hm but then you will have someone in block context next to inline text. If that causes an issue in one of teh IEs, check it.

Hello :~)

As long as I put the float first then all seems well in ie too.
