4,745 PointsThe Box Model : Floats with Pseudo Elements.
Hi guys I'm currently watching the 'Floats' video within the 'Box Model' section. At 8:29, Guil goes onto explaining using 'clearfix' with Pseudo elements which is fine.
But in the previous video on Pseudp Elements we are told specifically to use two colons:: for each 'before/after' etc, yet he is only using one colon: in this video. Can you help?
Cheers Dan:)

Treehouse TeacherHey everyone,
Both work exactly the same way. The 2 colon syntax simply sets them apart from pseudo-classes. The main difference is that IE8 does not support the two colons––just the one.
