• I’m having trouble with css and the

    element.
    This is my css
    blockquote {background: #EEEEEE;
    border-left: 5px solid #ccc;
    margin-left: 1.5em;
    padding-left: 5px;
    font-size: 80%;
    text-align: justify;
    }

And though he cannot publicly express his gratititude to the foreign soldiers who made possible his victory over the abusers of sanctuary, the ayatollah is on the side of a general election soon.

    Apparantly, according to Safire, Grand Ayatollah Sistani has joined the Republican party! Even assuming that what Safire

    Looking at it, I realize that it does in fact apply the margins, but not the background, font, text-align or borders.
    Hmmmmm. . …
    Thanks for any help

    In your css, just above the blockquote part, is a } all on it’s own
    Just a }
    Kill it 🙂
