Hello, I was wondering if anybody has had any luck doing CSS transforms on
custom tags on .xhtml documents. I have tried this using IE5.5sp1 and
haven't had any luck. I have a well-formed XHTML document and create a
custom tag and then some CSS code to just turn the text inside of all tags
of that name to red (for example) and it ignores it. Does anybody know if
this isn't supported in IE5.5sp1? Do I need to wait for a future browser
release to fully support XHTML documents? Thank you for any help you might
be able to give me.

Hello T-man. Thank you for your reply but I still can't get it to affect my
text. Here is what I did with your example:

<style id="blahcss1" type="text/css">

blah\:*{ height:144px;TEXT-COLOR:red}

</style>

<blah:custom id="blah1">Kyle</blah:custom>

And what I have tried on my own...

<style type="text/css">

myname

{

TEXT-COLOR: red;

TEXT-DECORATION: underline

}

<myname>Kyle</myname>

But, neither would not change the color, size, or anything of my text (file
saved as kyle.xhtml). Is there something that I am doing wrong? My name
just appears as normal black text. Thanks!

Kyle
