Bearing in mind CSS needing less code typing than HTML & its capability to merely have one single style sheet that's linked with other HTML document & hence having less codes, I wonder if there's a way that helps me achieve the following:
>> I want ALL my paragraph that comes STRAIGHT AFTER any heading (h1/h2/h3/h4, etc.) to have first letter as "pseudo-letter". NOT all the paragraphs but ONLY the one that comes immediately after any of these heading.
.......................... STYLE SHEET ................
#content p.first-letter:first-letter
{
color:red;
margin-left:20px;
font-size:xx-large;
}
.......................... STYLE SHEET ................
.......................... HTML DOCUMENT ................
<p class="first-letter">
.......................... STYLE SHEET ................
In order to achieve such thing, I HAVE TO go through the entire HTML document & change any <p> tag that comes immediately after any heading (<h1>, <h2>, etc.) to <p class="first-letter">.
The result works on BOTH Internet Explorer & Firefox.
However, I tried:
.......................... STYLE SHEET ................
#content h2+p.first-letter:first-letter
{
color:red;
margin-left:20px;
font-size:xx-large;
}
.......................... STYLE SHEET ................
When I did so, I DID NOT have to type:
<p class="first-letter">
in my HTML document (as I'm doing now), however, in that case, it ONLY works in Firefox & NOT the Internet Explorer.
I wonder if anyone around could possibly point me in the right direction.
