The code above is at http://dot.kr/x-test/layOut/001.php .
I can see the yellow backgound in the left and pink background in the right.
But where can I the background color:green ?
If I want to see the background color:green, I can I see it?
The floated containers are removed from the flow and have no height so the <div> with the background-color has no height. Overflow-hidden contains the floats and gives it height so the green is visible. Likewise, adding text gives it height so the green shows but does not contain the floats.
