Add some text in front of an object

Hello,

I want to add some text in front of an object. I want to use the
":before" tag for that. I've tried to do this like the following:

object[classid="clsid: D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"],
embed[type="applicati on/x-shockwave-flash"] + *:before {
content:"test";
font-size: 1.2em;
color: #000;
border: 1px solid #000;
font-weight: bold;
display: block;
padding: 10px;
}

This doesn't work.

what am I doing wrong?

Thank you very much in advance

It's not a tag, it's a pseudo-element. There are no tags in CSS, and most of
the time people mean something different in HTML terms too, when saying
"tag".
object[classid="clsid: D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"],
embed[type="applicati on/x-shockwave-flash"] + *:before {


Did you mean:

object[classid="clsid: D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"]:before,
embed[type="applicati on/x-shockwave-flash"]:before {

Should work in CSS2 browsers, IE neither being nor claimed to be one.

I am working on creating an editable grid (for use in adding, deleting, and editing rows back to an Oracle database). I have a JSP that posts back to a servlet, which in turns posts to a WebLogic SFSB and, from there, to the database. On the front end, all cells appear as text fields. However, for certain cells, when the user clicks on the cell, the text field turns into a drop-down field (i.e. Select object), defaulting to the value...

Let's say I have an MDI parent form with a textbox. If I create an MDI child form and, at runtime, move the MDI child window over the textbox on the MDI parent, the textbox appears in front of the MDI child window. How can I make the MDI child window appear in front of any controls that may be on the MDI parent? thanks, John

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
