User-Agent: Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040118 CSS allows the :before and :after pseudo-selectors to specify content that will appear before or after an element. For example, a rule like a:before { content: "The website is "; } would put the words "The website is" (minus the quotes) before every hyperlink on a page. Naturally our old friend IE doesn't understand this, and Mozilla does - until you try to select the generated text. Simply put, the text is unselectable. Given that (a) the text looks exactly like any other, and (b) there's nothing in CSS to say that some text should be unselectable, this appears to be a bug. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make a stylesheet containing this one rule: p.bug:after { content: " please"; } 2. And a page containing this HTML fragment: <p>Select from here</p> <p class="bug">through here</p> <p>to here</p> 3. Either <link> to the stylesheet or (easier) just include the rule in <style> tags. Actual Results: Three paragraph display: Select from here through here please to here (This is correct. The "please" was added for us by the rule.) However, when you try to select the text, either using rightclick | Select All or just dragging with the mouse, the word "please" doesn't get selected. Expected Results: The generated content ("please") should be selectable. This was pointed out by Vinnie Garcia on <http://blog.vinniegarcia.com/oldstuff/000070.html> I haven't tested with :before, or with content in other rules. Someone should.
