This is how I would do: http://jtanna.tripod.com/blockquote01.htm Check the source of above page and let me know if you have any questions.

Am I chasing a fantasy in trying to get these curly quotes to work in all the browsers? Here's my test page: It's a similarly beautiful day in Indiana, and I've been working on my website all day, so I'll take a crack at yours for a change of pace. Is there a browser currently doing this right, so I can tell what you're after? I think it's wrong in Chrome. ---Tim Thanks if you have a minute Tim. I had to run to the store for a second, hence the delay on this email. ...I just started doing the curly quotes in Explorer, and they were coming out good when I realized that they may not look the same in the other browsers. ...So, in Explorer they look about how I'd like them. I was just going for the look of large quotes somewhere reasonably placed at the start and end of each one of my quotes. Nothing complicated. I'd prefer to use CSS instead of an image. ...I need to take a look at David's response now.

I'm on Linux, so I don't have access to Explorer, but in the spirit of
large quotes somewhere reasonably placed at the start and end of each one
of
my quotes
how about this?
add to this:
blockquote p {
position: relative;
}
and replace these with:
.bqstart {
color: #666;
font-size: 700%;
position: relative;
top: -0.2em;
left: -0.1em;
}
.bqend {
color: #666;
font-size: 700%;
position: absolute;
bottom: -0.8em;
right: -0.2em;
}
---Tim
Thanks Tim, however it looks pretty wacky in Explorer. ...I'll have to give
this some thought. I'm still new to CSS, so off the top of my head I'm
seeing a work around how to format the curly quotes for all the different
browsers.

Brian i meant to say: *not* seeing My guess is that if it looks okay in the other browsers, it looks okay in IE8 too, which means you just need to grab IE7. If you put this in your HTML header (NOT you CSS) !--[IE lte 7] link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href=ie.css ![endif]-- and your IE specific css in ie.css, it should help you out.
