User-Agent: Opera/9.26 (Windows NT 5.1; U; pl) Build Identifier: 2.0.0.13 and 3.b4 'content' selector is only interpreted while used with pseudo-element ':before' or ':after'. While tag/class/id is 'clean', without those pseudo-elements, selector is ignored. P.S. If you don't know what it's going on, open page and code from "Additional Information" in Opera Browser and Firefox. You'll see the difference. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Webpage, where you can see the problem: http://www.w3schools.com/css/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_before Example code: <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> h1 { content: "Doesn't work :(" } </style> </head> <body> <h1>This is a header</h1> <p> The :before pseudo-element can be used to insert some content before the content of an element.</p> </body> </html>

The "content" property only applies to :before and :after pseudo-elements. See http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/generate.html#propdef-content

Resolution: --- → INVALID
Summary: CSS: 'content' selector doesn't work properly → CSS: 'content' property only works in pseudo-elements
This should really be marked as a duplicate of the bug on implementing the css3 version of the content property. That said, I don't think that's in CR yet.
Resolution: INVALID → DUPLICATE
