support for CSS ::first-letter

Unread post by complutense » 2024-10-13, 10:31

Hello
I just restarted my forum account, but have been using Pale Moon as my main browser for years. Thank you for giving us this tool!

I am finding that there is not support for CSS

Code: Select all

::first-letter
pseudo-element selector. It works in Firefox and in every browser according to caniuse.com
I'd appreciate any advice or information on this issue.
Thanks

We have support for ::first-letter since.. forever? :?: The examples in this MDN documentation work: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc ... rst-letter

Yes literally since forever. Our first release had it.

It might even be before Firefox was even a thing (when the Mozilla Suite was still the primary product)... Or at least when it was Phoenix. :think:

Thank you. I was surprised, but it is not working in my page. I will check better what is the reason.
Cheers

Answer: the problem was that the initial character was Unicode ✅ or ✘
They do not get applied the style for ::first-letter in Pale Moon. Regular characters do (I would say I had tested those too without success before posting, but ...).
I applied a workaround to get what I need.
Thanks for the prompt reply.
