However, in the case of columns, there isn't really an element to select a single column, so logically one should use a pseudo-element. I'm just not sure how the syntax could be done; though using a variant of nth-child makes some sense, since you can use it with a constant to target a specific column, or with a formula to target a group of columns. Though it is true that at this time, there is no pseudo-element that works like this. -- http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ - Get Firefox! http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/ - Reclaim Your Inbox!
