Hello Adrienne,<br><br>I'm not sure how good or bad IE is in general at this stuff.<br><br>But I know escaping the ":" works in IE (for CSS)... because I did it before. (Works in Firefox too of course.)<br><br>

Charles,<br><br>I went and looked, and per the spec you're right (any Unicode<br>character, escaped, is valid) -- BUT, how do parsers/UAs treat them? I<br>know IE has trouble with certain escaped characters, for instance. Not
<br>that i'm interested in coddling IE -- but it'd be good to make sure<br>that more forward-thinking UAs aren't making the same mistake.<br><br>Adrienne<br><br><br><br>On 5/17/07, Charles Iliya Krempeaux <

<br>><br>> I believe you can style the class name "dc:author" with CSS code like the<br>> following...<br>><br>> dc\:author {<br>> /* Your style here */<br>> }<br>><br>> (Note the backslash in there.)
<br>><br>> So, no need for doing stuff with dashes.<br>><br>><br>> > If the namespacing was handled with dashes, like class="dc-author",<br>> > that would work, though.)<br>><br>> [...]
