I should add that these wildcard attribute selectors with negation. :not([att^=val]) :not([att$=val]) :not([att*=val]) which currently "match nothing" in all implementations supporting negation. If the implementations change their behavior with those earlier cases (without negation) then all implementations will show the above three selectors when changed as a match (like green). http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2008Feb/0333.html Alan http://css-class.com/test/
