5,602 PointsWhat am I doing wrong with .clearfix? Can't get the footer to be cleared from floating columns.
How do I get clearfix for clear after?
I applied the class to the last column (.tertiary) but it's not clearing and footer is bumping up.

5,602 PointsThanks!
Why won't it work without adding a container to column?
P.S. How do I post my code?
[MOD: editing to insert a code demo - sh]
<!-- code in here -->
<h1>A Heading</h1>

57,712 PointsYou can post your code by copying and pasting into here, BUT you must have three backticks on the line before, and the line after your code, else it gets parsed. So, like this:
<!-- code in here -->
<h1>A Heading</h1>
I have edited your answer to include the same block of code. If you edit your own answer, you can see what I have done.
