[Rails-spinoffs] Re: Hiding a div by default

Great, thank you for the clarification. On Sep 1, 2006, at 9:41 AM, Christophe Porteneuve wrote: Sam, Steven, Ryan: Your understanding is correct. A few precisions though: - Using element.style in JS is strictly equivalent to working on the inline HTML element, which DOES have something to do with selector specificity, as defined by the CSS spec. In short, the inline style, and therefore the script-exposed style object, have the ultimate specificity. They override anything. - Resetting any property of the style object to the empty string makes it irrelevant, which is the normative behavior as per DOM Level 2 Style (CSSStyleDeclaration interface). - Prototype's approach to display is to not back its value for later restoration (opposite to what it does with a couple other properties, such as overflow or position). It just overrides it with 'none' to hide, and stops overriding it to show. Any effect relying on Element.show, Element.hide and Element.toggle "inherits" this behavior. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
