This is a new one, and pretty cool.  The ‘content’ attribute automatically adds code / text / attributes to the start or end of any tag, depending on the pseudo class.

Use FireFox? Can’t stand the dotted lines around links when you select them? Nope, nor me.

Form fields need to line up. OK. Historically this was achieved using a table, and masses of markup. Although that’s still acceptable and would not fail validation, there is an easier and better way that uses less code and where using the correct tags will also cause the ‘name’ field become focused when you clicked the ‘name’ label.

Using CSS we can achieve this using less code, while providing improved usability.
