Maybe I didn't explain it well enough :-)
I use it every day, and it works.
In short:
<div id="sidebar">
</div>
<div id="content">
<div id="content1">
<img src="image.jpg" alt="alt-text">
<p>text</p>
</div>
<div id="content2">
<p>text</p>
</div>
</div>
Don't just float #sidebar and img, but also #content.
If #content (parent of #content1 and #content2) is floated, the
clear property on #content2 will not clear #sidebar.
Try it. If you have an example of it not working, I'll be happy
to have a look at it.
