Nothing at all, except that that particular clearer is written
<br clear="left/right/all" /> and only works with transitional doctypes.
Something like:
br {font-size:1px; line-height: 0px; height: 0; }
..left {clear:left; }
..right {clear:right; }
..both {clear:both; }
....added to <br class="left/right/both" /> or other elements, work in
most cases. The rest is solved by 'floating containers' (my favorite),
and occasional use of the "clearfix" method.
The least predictable method is use of 'overflow: auto/hidden', which
may result in complete chaos. It's the easiest one to break, and should
only be used on web pages that are _thoroughly_ tested across browser-land.
