Probably a better choice. Hi Dan,

Just wondering. Cheers Is there any particular reason why Line 13:
var first_letter = text.substr(0,1);
Is not:
var first_letter = text.charAt(0);
? Just wondering. Cheers

Are you using Firefox with Firebug so you can see what's happening? Are you getting an error message? Do you have a page you can link to so we can see the problem? Hi Kenneth,
I have no idea what’s up. Are you using Firefox with Firebug so you can see what’s happening? Are you getting an error message? Do you have a page you can link to so we can see the problem?

Screen readers that take JS into account would read out the image's alt attribute and then "hat's all there is to it."

Then if javascript was disabled, it would just show up as a letter formatted like the rest of the paragraph. Seems like the span wouldn't be necessary. Wouldn’t the source just show:
