display — IE4 P/P | IE5 P/Y | NN4 P/P | Op3 P/-
Synopsis
Used to
classify elements into broad categories. The most popular value is
probably none
, which suppresses the display of an
element altogether. Gratuitous use of display
with
a document type such as HTML can be dangerous, since HTML already has
a display
hierarchy defined. However, in the case
of XML, which has no such hierarchy, display is indispensable.
In CSS2, the range of values for display is dramatically expanded. See Chapter 10 for more details.
Example
.hide {display: none;}
