Hi, I have a form in which I wanted to change the properties for the p:firstline pseudo-element, just for the form. However, when I added the :first-line psuedo-element to the p.formleft and p.formright rules, the text centered, despite my alignment designations. I would think that the text rules were picking up the desgination for the container (which is centered) except that they aligned just fine before I added the :first-line psuedo-element.

I realize that this is off-topic so all I will ask is if someone know a good tutorial, could you let me know the link? I've been looking at different tutorials but am still at a loss as to actually how to set this up. Thanks!
