    I am having problem with blockquote not being able to display in IE. It works perfectly in firefox. Can anyone please help me with this? the code is as follows:

    blockquote {
    display: block;
    padding: 0 2.5em;
    width: 70%;
    }
    blockquote:before, blockquote:after {
    color: #69c;
    display: block;
    font-size: 450%;
    }
    blockquote:before {
    content: open-quote;
    height: 0;
    margin-left: -0.55em;
    }
    blockquote:after {
    content: close-quote;
    height: 50px;
    margin-top: -50px;
    margin-left: 100%;
    }

    Because IE 6 doesn't support those pseudo classes. Do you have a page for us to look at?

    The problem is there with IE7 too. The link is : http://aura.gargs.com/aandj.html

    Yep, IE doesn't recognise the :before and :after pseudo classes, so this applies to IE6 and 7 unfortunately.

    Not that I know of, there is possibly a JS solution to this somewhere, can anyone suggest anything?

    Personally, I'd just create a "span" around your quotation marks and use a class to define their size and colour, or use separate containers either side of the text (possibly using images) to achieve the same effect you have going on your page there. Crude I know, but it would do the job.
