Style Object

## Definition and Usage

The clear property sets or returns the position of the element relative to floating objects.

## Syntax

Set the clear property:

Object.style.clear="none|left|right|both|inherit"

Return the clear property:

Object.style.clear

Value | Description
--- | ---
none | Allows floating objects on both sides of the element. This is default
left | No floating objects allowed on the left side of the element
right | No floating objects allowed on the right side of the element
both | No floating objects allowed on either the left or right side of the element
inherit | The value of the clear property should be inherited from the parent element

## Browser Support

The clear property is supported in all major browsers.

Note: The value "inherit" is not supported in IE7 and earlier. IE8 requires a !DOCTYPE. IE9 supports "inherit".

## Example

Prohibit floating objects on the left side of the text:

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
img
{
float:left;
}
</style>
<script>
function displayResult()
{
document.getElementById("p1").style.clear="left";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<img src="w3javascript.gif" width="100" height="132">
<p id="p1">This is some text. This is some text. This is some text.
This is some text. This is some text. This is some text.
This is some text. This is some text. This is some text.</p>
<input type="button" onclick="displayResult()" value="Clear left side of text">
</body>
</html>
