81 Hey, look at me

My apologies to the author, but this has got to be one of the least informative articles ever to grace the front of alistapart. I know they’re hurting for content, but… geesh.

anyhow, i took 5 minutes to take the authors approach and create a clean, completely unclassed page that accomplishes everything the author intended. I eliminated floating the <ul>‘s left and right, and am floating them both to the left. I assigned clear:both to the tags to prevent them from creeping upward at all. I used PIE’s float-clearing trick to make sure my div wrapped the entire setup.

It’s as close to 100% semantic as we can get with CSS2.
