CSS Pull Quotes
March 12th, 2007
Well, it’s certainly been a while since I posted a new CSS how-to. Actually, it’s been a while since I did much regular posting at all! Not to worry though, the Spring weather means it’s time for the blog to come out of hibernation.
CSS Pull Quotes is something I thought of last summer, and was originally going to be the subject of an article for A List Apart. Since it’s been so long since I last posted a CSS article here, I thought I add it to the list of tutorials at Design Meme.
I actually love this approach. I’ve had a hard time coming up with a semantic way of doing pullquotes that doesn’t create repeated content. My only problem with this when I’ve tested it is that I can’t apply a float to it in Firefox (I’d rather not have it above the content entirely) and it doesn’t show up at all in IE6-Win.
So I like the method a lot, if only it seemed to be more usable in most browsers. With limited CSS control in FF and no functionality in IE-6, though, I’m not sure I can really implement it…
I got to know about the new CSS technique thank you.
But, it does not work in IE.
