I'd be grateful for some help on this element addressing question. I want to
change the font-size of the "H" of "Hello World" in the following HTML using
first-letter, but cannot "reach" the element.
<div id="napoleon">
<div>
<a id="1000" class="dynamite " href="test.htm" >Hello World</a>
</div>
</div>
How do I address the contents of the anchor using a combination class
..dynamite and id #napoleon and the A and DIV selectors? This simple CSS has
no effect: .dynamite:first-letter{ font-size: medium}
Thanks

"The :first-letter pseudo-element applies to block, list-item,
table-cell, table-caption and inline-block elements."

Actually that's from the CSS 2.1 draft (status: Candidate
Recommendation) . Formally the current specification is CSS 2.0, which
obscurely says: "The :first-letter pseudo-element matches parts of
block-level elements only."
Anyway, it won't work for an <a> element by default. Here a simple
solution would be to use
#napoleon a { display: block; }
#napoleon a:first-letter { ... }
Alternatively, one could use the pseudo-element for the enclosing
block:
#napoleon div:first-letter { ... }
Using #napoleon:first-letter does not seem to work (on IE 6 or
Mozilla), perhaps due to the intervening <div> markup.

The CSS 2.0 spec is primarily of historical value, anyone using CSS
should use the 2.1 spec and ignore the above quote.

<div>
<a id="1000" class="dynamite " href="#"><span style="font:20p t">H</span>ello
World</a>
</div>
As one possible way.
Thanks, Richard, but I cannot alter the HTML. A program returns the anchor
nested in an unidentified DIV and I insert that HTML into the enclosing div
whose ID = napoleon. Rewriting that anchor-creation program is on the list
of to do items. It would be nice if it allowed me to assign a class to the
DIV that lacks one now.

and for everybody that want there css to work: css 2.0 and 2.1 are both
ill-supported by all browsers.
if you want to use it, try your luck, take no good implementation for
granted.
Very disappointing: I was waiting for the part where someone gets hit over
the head with a folding chair. :-)
Spartanicus, thanks for clarifying the spec, and Jukka, thanks for these
suggestions. When I tried them _in vivo_ there were some side-effects (other
A elements were affected, not merely those beneath #napolean) so I seized
the opportunity to rewrite the code that produced the anchor. The anonymous
DIV that enclosed the anchor now has a class reference, and it's much easier
to address the nested anchor.

Hello.
I am working my way through Zhang's "Teach yourself C in 24 hrs (2e)"
(Sam's series), and for nested loops, he writes (p116) "It's often
necessary to create a loop even when you are already in a loop." Then he
goes on to portray a contrived example that doesn't tell me under what
conditions a nested loop might be favoured as a solution? i.e. what are
nested loops useful for? What kinds of algorithms are served by nested
loops?...

I'm very new to C but I have a number of years of Common Lisp programming

Hi all,
In the code snippet below I successfully determine the address of val1:*
struct o val1=l_SYM_2B(&a).o;

The structure o is heavyweight. I understand (hopefully correctly) that
(barring compiler optimisations) C will shallow copy the structure into
val1.
