Hi,
Well your code in the examples you've given is inconsistent. In the first
post you open a <p> tag but close with </P>. If you're using XHTML, it is
case sensitive and does not see these two as connected. Also in the CSS
example, you've put a capital P. This may be the problem. Try changing it
to:
<p class="dialogue">Blah blah blah</p>
p.dialogue:before {
content: "- "; /* Note that the browser will not convert an Ascii
code, just write the literal content you want. */
}
This works in Firefox and Opera as far as I can tell.

Target browsers include Safari, Mozilla, Firefox, the standards posse

P.dialogue:before {content: "— "}
