I'm trying to use:
#description p:first-line { margin-left : 3em; }
and it refuses to take any notice of me! However, if I use:
#description p:first-line { color : #f00; } that works fine.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
According to CSS 2.1:
<http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/selector.html#first-line-pseudo>
(final paragraph):
"The :first-line pseudo-element is similar to an inline-level
element, but with certain restrictions. The following properties
apply to a :first-line pseudo-element: font properties, color
property, background properties, 'word-spacing', 'letter-spacing',
'text-decoration', 'vertical-align', 'text-transform', 'line-
height',. UAs may apply other properties as well."
So it looks like you can't use "margin" there - or rather, that
browsers aren't required to support it.
Cheers,
Nick.
