Yes... support is sketchy, so be sure to only use it for minor elements, like I only use :last-child for the right quote mark on <blockquote>.ok, thx so ill use it only if its not a necessary thing but helps if it is supported, thxOriginally posted by omega

But don't try that with MSIE.Originally posted by Charles
Could you please show me where there is a mention of ":last-child" selector in the spec.? I know it's not part of the current spec, but once CSS3 is out, it'll be valid. And by the way, I use background images for the quotes on either side, which is why I needed a second element for the second quote.Originally posted by Charles

It's been six years and Microsoft hasn't figured out CSS2, yet you're using CSS3 while half of it still just a working draft. Oy! And you're using background images instead of the perfectly good ways quote stuff in CSS2.What's wrong with using the images? It looks good, IMO at least. <http://projep.no-ip.com:81/archives/118-61-313/> (Only page I have with a quote)Originally posted by omega

It's supported, and will soon be 'approved.' It's not being used for anything vital, or hindering anything accessibility-wise. It's even documented by the W3C, which is how I found out about it.
