I haven’t tested this but you can probably override all of the attributes by specifying the defaults in the blockquote element

blockquote:first-child:first-letter {
	float: none;
}

Hi, I know this is an old thread but I’m hoping you can help.

When using the code you provided in this tutorial, it also make the first letter of blockquotes a drop cap – is there anyway to prevent this from happening?

Thanks

Thanks for pointing that out. Most of the time I just test in Opera, IE and firefox. I guess its a good thing 99% of my code is server side.

the css property \visibility:hidden\ causes he first letter no to show in Safari. Good tutorial though.
