The CSS2 selector [lang] can be used in HTML to identify elements which have a lang attribute. In XML languages which implement the xml:lang attribute the equivalent selector is [xml:lang] Note that it is also possible to select for particular languages - for example (if I recall the syntax correctly) [lang ~ en] selects languages which include the sequence "en" - primarily english, although there may be other examples like x-invented-language that are also selected, and [lang = en] will match anything with lang="en" Charles McCN --Charles McCathieNevile mailto:charles@w3.org phone: +1 617 258 0992 http://www.w3.org/People/Charles W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI MIT/LCS - 545 Technology sq., Cambridge MA, 02139, USA
