Psuedo-Element Not Working

Hi Folks,

My second 2014 question (first ever for this Forum);

Code:

---

<style type="text/css">
        p.first-letter {
                        color:red;
                        font-size: 200%;
}

---

is not working. Page where I'm trying it out is http://www.marainlaw.com/page.php?here=underagegambling. I've looked at it in both IE 11.0.4 and FF 27.0.1. W3C CSS validates. All help appreciated.

Wrong identifier. The dot ( . ) specifies a class. Psuedo-elements are double-colons ( :: ):

Code:

---

p::first-letter

What took you so long? (Just kidding.)

Thanks.
