html - 可变高度的 float 元素将兄弟向下推

Question

我有 6 个元素，它们应该生成两行，每行 3 个元素，所以我将它们 float 。但是元素的内容变化很大，当一个更高的元素阻止后续的兄弟元素一直向左浮动时，布局就会中断:

这是示例 CSS:

figure { width: 30%; float: left; margin-left: 1%; font-size: small; outline: solid #999 1px; }
img { max-width: 100%; }

和 HTML:

<figure>
  <img src="http://placekitten.com/150/200?image=1" alt="Kitten 1" />
  <figcaption>Bacon ipsum dolor sit amet short ribs pork chop pork belly spare ribs shoulder tri-tip beef ribs turkey brisket short loin tenderloin ground round. </figcaption>
</figure>
<figure>
  <img src="http://placekitten.com/150/200?image=2" alt="Kitten 2" />
  <figcaption>Short ribs cow corned beef, beef tenderloin swine biltong short loin. </figcaption>
</figure>
<figure>
  <img src="http://placekitten.com/150/200?image=3" alt="Kitten 3" />
  <figcaption>Boudin chuck ground round, pig pastrami salami turkey ham hock beef ribs tongue. </figcaption>
</figure>
<figure>
  <img src="http://placekitten.com/150/200?image=4" alt="Kitten 4" />
  <figcaption>Tri-tip pork loin tongue corned beef shankle ball tip. </figcaption>
</figure>
<figure>
  <img src="http://placekitten.com/150/200?image=5" alt="Kitten 5" />
  <figcaption>Turkey swine tenderloin spare ribs sausage filet mignon hamburger. Leberkas andouille prosciutto, bresaola tri-tip short loin meatloaf shank pig shoulder spare ribs ribeye. </figcaption>
</figure>
<figure>
  <img src="http://placekitten.com/150/200?image=6" alt="Kitten 6" />
  <figcaption>Pastrami andouille tongue tri-tip jerky.</figcaption>
</figure>

还有一个 JSFiddle 示例:http://jsfiddle.net/KatieK/5Upbt/

如何让第二行 figure 元素排在前 3 个元素的下方？

HTML/CSS 解决方案优于 JavaScript/jQuery 解决方案。

Answer 1

纯 CSS 解决方案怎么样？添加此规则:

figure:nth-of-type(3n+1) {
    clear:left;
}
