Why doesn’t footer get the background color from the parent (container)?
When you
floatan element, this is like it was disconnected from the parent. So,inheritvalues cannot be inherited. Also, the parent stops expanding to the children heights. Remove thefloatand you can see it working.But if you really need the

<div style="clear: both"></div>afterfooterlike showed on another answer, but it is just a trick to that the parent can follow the child height.
