It works beautifully in Firefox but IE ignores it completely. I've had a hunt around and everyone seems to be of the opinion that IE accepts pseudo classes as long as there are spaces between the declaration and selector block. #vmenu li :first-letter { color:#fa0; background-color:#666;font-weight: normal; font-size: 60px;border:1px solid #666;font-family:arial, verdana, sans-serif;} So any ideas why? Is it the wildcard? I can get round it by using spans but this seemed neater. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS* Now where did I put that Doctype?

I tried this and it's behaving.. so I'm obviously way off track with the problem <style type"text/css"> #vmenu li:first-letter { color:#fa0; background-color:#666;font-weight: normal; font-size: 60px;border:1px solid #666;font-family:arial, verdana, sans-serif;} </style> <ul id="vmenu"> <li>Test One</li> <li>Test Two</li> <li>Test Three</li> </ul> _____________________________ Sally (in reply to jaybee)

Played around with some of the other styles and all of a sudden it's working. Really odd. Seems to be something to do with a margin setting. Took it off and it works, put it on and it doesn't. Just found this and he had the same problem. My head hurts. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to rubyaim)
