Property Values
The following table describes the values of this property.
Value | Description |
---|---|
visible | This is default value. The element is visible. |
hidden | Sets the element into hidden (but still takes up space). |
collapse | Only for certain internal table objects: rows, row groups, columns and column groups. It removes the objects, but it does not affect the table layout in any other way. The space occupied by the table object will be filled by subsequent siblings.
If collapse is specified for other element, it causes the same behavior as hidden. |
initial | Sets this property to its default value. |
inherit | If specified, the associated element takes the computed value of its parent element animation-delay property. |
revert | Reverts the cascaded value of the property from its current value to the value the property |
revert-layer | Rollback styles to the ones specified in previous cascade layers. |
unset | Resets a property to its inherited value if the property naturally inherits from its parent, and to its initial value if not. |
