[css-d] Weird space in list with floats
Hello, I have a hierarchical list that I would like to contain Divs with other floating divs for each list item. But I get some weird space after the div only if there are no textual elements in it. I'm just wondering why this is happening and is there a way to control this space. I have tried many things (clearing, padding, margins, heights) with no success. The wierd thing is that this effect does seem to happen outside of a list. Here is a visual example of what I am talking about: http://vinson.gracia.googlepages.com/home Any Ideas??

I knew there was a good reason for that out there. Thanks for the explanation! On 2/23/06, Zoe M.

Whether or not this is the right decision for the W3C is not relevant to this list, but I can at least provide an explanation for the current way it works. Let's say you want to use :first-letter to create a drop cap (the most common usage). Let's say your paragraph starts out like this: pI can't believe it's not butter! I exclaimed as I took a bite of my toast./p When you apply the :first-letter pseudo-element (pseudo-class? always forget), you don't want the first *character* of the paragraph (the opening quotation mark) to be the drop cap. You want everything up to and *including* the first *letter* to be the drop cap (ie, you want the I to be big). If there are multiple characters before the first letter, all of them should go along for the ride. For instance: p'I can't believe it's not butter' is what Zoe said, said the man./p In this case, 'I would be the drop cap. Again, doesn't solve your problem, but hopefully makes it clear that this is actually good that it works as it does.

[css-d] Interesting Firefox bug? (first-letter pseudo selector)
I searched all over for information on this bug but didn't see
anything. I just entered in Bugzilla just in case.
I thought I was being clever by using the first-letter pseudo selector
to style my required field asterisk without any extra code but firefox
rained on my parade.
OK, so an asterisk is not a letter, technically, but ff is not even
consistent in that regard.
html
head
style
p:first-letter{
color:red;
}
/style
/head
body
ptest/p
p*test/p
p***test/p
pnbsp;test/p
/body
/html

Re: [css-d] Interesting Firefox bug? (first-letter pseudo selector)
Totally rains on my parade... but thanks for the W3C Spec! I think the W3C is wrong on this one though. I'd say at least 10^2^2 terabytes of code is being used to style the asterisks for required fields on forms around the world. I think changing this would vastly improve bandwith on the internet as a whole. :P Thanks again! On 2/21/06, L.

This means that in the examples you give, the first letter should be: ptest/p t p*test/p *t p***test/p ***t pnbsp;test/p unknown. The spec isn't clear on this one. -David -- L.

Re: [css-d] Interesting Firefox bug? (first-letter pseudo selector)
I was checking on ff 1.5.
Here's the code to test:
htmlhead
style
p:first-letter{
color:red;
}
/style
/head
body
ptest/p
p*test/p
p***test/p
pnbsp;test/p
/body
/html
The best solution is to use the :before pseudo selector as Mr Baron
pointed out but my corp is an IE only shop. :(

On which version of Firefox does this not work? I have an example of
using :first-letter to color a heart entity - admittedly generated
content, but applied *after* generating (for the sake of other browsers).
Here's the example, still working on FF 1.0.5.1 -
http://localhost/sandbox/hearts.html
Do you have a URL we could look at?
Cordially,
David
