Hi...

You could create a
class for quotes in your css and use the gif image(s) there.

Of course your stuff will then run the risk of being incompatible with other XOOPS sites.

may the road rise to meet your feet!

One approach is CSS pseudo classes, like p:before, p:after.

A word of caution though, this approach does not work well with IE. Must like most cool things you can do with standards compliant CSS. But I digress...

HTH.

thank you both
rabideau,
it should be done with [ quote ] [ /quote ] tags
i dont want to touch core php files.


JMorris,
yes its a nice trick but as you said that MICRO$OFT IE is a big issue with its incompatibilities with CSS3 and even CSS2.
see here:

and unfortunately about 60 percents of all of my visitors using IE.
anyway i work on it
