The question was whether you could change the color of text within an element -- the only way to achieve this ([i]without changing the markup[/i]) are those pseudoelements. div.somebox > p:first-line { color: #f00; font: 1.6em/2em; } div.somebox:hover > p:first-line { color: inherit; } Though abstract cases like this aren't very helpful; reading the spec (above) should impart a better understanding. Keeping in mind that IE does everything possible to break straight-css. CSS 2.1 did make some improvements, but expect them widely supported in 2012. Cheers, DC Loading...
