CSS, Content and Internet Explorer

How do I display content text in IE

[kaled]

I was having a play a few days ago trying to solve a minor problem and thought about specifying paragraph content e.g.

P:before {content: "J"; color: red}

Works in Opera and Mozilla, does nothing in IE.

Any thoughts?

Yes, sadly it's never going to work. Guess what? IE doesn't support :before.

sadly there are quite a lot of bits of css2 that ie doesn't support. Dean Edwards has created a solution to this called IE7 [dean.edwards.name] where you can add his stylesheet to your page to make IE more complient.
