ClearHelper
===========

ClearHelper is a simple one method helper to make creating a "cleared" div
simple and consistent across platforms.  You can specify whether you want to
clear 'both', 'left', or 'right' and set the height of the div in any unit you
want (defaults to pixels).

Installation
============

./script/plugin install git://github.com/phallstrom/clear_helper.git


Example
=======

<%= clear %>
<div style="clear:both; height: 0; max-height: 0; line-height: 0;">&nbsp;</div>

<%= clear(:left) %>
<div style="clear:left; height: 0px; max-height: 0px; line-height: 0px;">&nbsp;</div>

Failure to specify the unit for the height will default to 'px'.

<%= clear(:right, 10) %>
<div style="clear:left; height: 10px; max-height: 10px; line-height: 10px;">&nbsp;</div>

If the first value is not one of 'both', 'left', or 'right' it will be assumed to be the height
and will default to 'both'.

<%= clear('2.5em') %>
<div style="clear:both; height: 2.5em; max-height: 2.5em; line-height: 2.5em;">&nbsp;</div>
