pseudo-element: first-line

[bongo]

I'm trying the pseudo-element: first-line, but i can't succeed in use it.
This is my sintax in an external CSS:


..autore:first-line { font-weight: bold }


In my page I have various div and, among them, I have:

<div class="autore">abcdefghilmno pqrstuvz ad so on</div>


The pseudo-element listed above does not work, can you tell me why?

Thanks

It looks fine to me. Try validating the CSS
<http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/> and fixing the errors. (Don't
worry about the warnings right now.) You might have a syntax error
higher up in the stylesheet that's causing your browser to skip over it.

1) Maybe it is working but your DIV content is so short that only one
line is showing that you don't realize that it is bold. Add more content
that forces the content to wrap...

2) The font that you are using doesn't have a "bold" version on your
machine or the bold is very subtle.

3) What browser are you testing with? Maybe it does not support
"first-line" pseudo-element, IE before 5.5 does not.

Post a URL showing the problem. Then people won't have to guess why it
isn't working for you.
