    Hey Chris, this convertor might make using special characters a bit easier :)

    Just drop in the character and hit convert!

    Once again I learn about an obscure corner of CSS I’d forgotten about – thanks.

    However, I think content belongs to HTML, and the styling to CSS – I can imagine overuse of this making things very confusing. Imagine using tables in your HTML and content in your CSS…

    Can you explain how you got to that point? I have Safari 5 and I tried the latest WebKit nightly and I couldn’t figure out how to actually target the pseudo element.

    Do note that, if I recall correctly, that method will make the tooltip dependant on javascript, which kind of the point here was make it a CSS-tooltip.

    (asuming the css will refer to the non-”title” attribute)

    @Chris Coyier:
    As shown in this screenshot (http://i.imgur.com/jFbdF.png) Safari 5′s Web Inspector does fully show and interacts with the Pseudo selectors.

    Lets go back and review something real quick.

    CSS is getting @var variables

    CSS has almost basic if/then logic with @media queries
    (if device width is less than 600px then…)

    CSS is getting math calculations
    (calc())

    CSS can add nodes to the dom
    (.email-address:before)

    CSS can access dom node attributes
    (content: attr(title) “: “;)

    Am I the only one seeing good reason to create a locked down, simplified subset of real javascript specifically designed to handle the job of styling content?
