Re: CSS Content Property Page

Hi Julee and Wendy,

I just created a very simple example [1] for the "content" property. In 
a HTML form, it uses the content property to insert a colon after the 
label. It also uses content to insert the typical mandatory red asterisk 
mark before the label to indicate that the field is required. I tried to 
use the adjacent sibling selector/combinator along with specifying the 
subject (! symbol) of the selector:

    !label:before + input[required] { ... }

But it appears not be supported by current browsers [2].

Kindly let me know if this is the right approach. If yes, then we can 
use it as an example on the content page [3].

Thank you!

One trick I'd pass along is an alternative to inserting graphic content 
directly, which displays in-line by default. If you set the dimensions 
of the ::before/::after area and activate it with some non-displaying 
text, you can implement a background image instead, which offers more 
control. In this case, display:block overrides the default in-line, and 
makes the image stack:

div::before {
     height: 4em;
     width: 12em;
     display: block;
     content: ' ';
     background-image: url(http://www.yubnub.org/images/yubnub.png);
     background-size: contain;
     background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
