title: CSS clearfix alternative for children with fixed position
body: <p>I know that <strong>clearfix</strong> is a way to combat the zero-height container problem for floated elements.</p>
  
  <p>But, I am wondering if there's any clearfix-like way for fixed elements?</p>
  
  <p>I am stuck and getting anywhere from clearfix method.</p>
  
  <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false">
  <div class="snippet-code">
  <pre class="snippet-code-css lang-css prettyprint-override"><code>.navbar-float {
    background-color: #adadad;
    float: left;
  }
  
  .navbar-fixed {
    background-color: #dadada;
    position: fixed;
  }
  
  div.clearfix {
    border: 1px solid #adadad;
    padding: 4px;
  }
  
  .clearfix:before,
  .clearfix:after {
    content:"";
    display:table;
  }
  .clearfix:after {
    clear:both;
  }
  .clearfix {
    zoom:1; /* For IE 6/7 (trigger hasLayout) */
  }</code></pre>
  <pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;div class="clearfix"&gt;
    &lt;nav class="navbar-float"&gt;
      Float
    &lt;/nav&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;br/&gt;
  &lt;br/&gt;
  &lt;br/&gt;
  &lt;div class="clearfix"&gt;
    &lt;nav class="navbar-fixed"&gt;
      Fixed
    &lt;/nav&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;</code></pre>
  </div>
  </div>
