I’m having an awful time with pseudo selectors. I would like to setup my site and prepare it for wordpress (custom Theme) as I’m cutting up the PSD to prepare it. I got most of the stuff fixed but I would like to add the pseudo selector for p:first-letter{}
however, they is a possibility of multiple paragraphs posting through wordpress. This means that every paragraph will have the dropcap. I only want the first letter of the first paragraph to be drop capped. Herein lies the problem. The p:first-letter{} works in html markup but I cannot get your solution for p:nth-child():first-letter{} to work.
Possible conclusions I came up with:
1. Working locally on a virtual server(similar to WAMP or MAMP)
2. I am doing something wrong with the selector.
Could you shed some light on this?
Note I get an error when I type the parenthesis for nth-child. This might give you an indication on what I might be doing wrong. Please advise.
Also, I want to avoid using span tags for markup as it will make things icky with wordpress and possible design changes later on.
