Add some text in front of an object

[Manuel Reimer]

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="application/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="application/x-shockwave-flash"] + *:before {

Did you mean:

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

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