hey guys. dunno if anyone here is any good at CSS, but I thought I'd ask. I'm trying to learn and I am running into a problem.

I DL'd and printed the W3C specs for CSS2 and according to them if i put:

Code:

 P DIV{
    TEXT-INDENT: 5em;
  }

it should make the following code have indented paragraphs without the empty line between them.

Code:

  <P>This is LIne 1<BR>
  <DIV>This should be line 2, indented</P>

but for some reason it doesn't.

If i took out the P in the CSS code it will work, but i don't want every <div> to be an indent, just the ones in a <p>.

i am using IE 5.5, is it possible that it doesn't support decendant selectors??

thanks for any help.
