Dear css-discuss, how might one style the first paragraph, only if it is emphasized? can it be done without javascript?
Given this html: <div class="content"> <p><em>An intro paragraph which should be highlighted in some manner,</em> <em>but the [em] might not apply to whole paragraph in a single piece.</em></p> <p>This is a normal paragraph which should be left alone.</p> </div> <div class="content". <p>Thiis normal paragraph which should also be left alone.</p> </div> This css *almost* works, except it breaks the paragraph apart if there is more than one <em> : /* box and center if 1st paragraph in page is emphasized */ .content > p:first-child > em:first-child { max-width:35em; padding: 0.5em; display: block; text-align:justified; margin: 0 10% 0 10%; } Perhaps I should be taking another approach altogether? thanks in advance for your time and thoughts, -- -matt ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
