CSS display Attributes

All major browsers support the display attribute.

Note: If !DOCTYPE is specified, Internet Explorer 8 (and later) supports the attribute values "inline-table", "run-in", "table", " table-caption", "table-cell", "table-column", "table-column-group", "table-row", "table-row-group", and "inherit".

Definition and Usage

The display attribute specifies the type of box that the element should generate.

Description

This attribute is used to define the type of display box generated by the element when creating the layout. For document types such as HTML, using display carelessly can be dangerous, as it may violate the display hierarchy already defined in HTML. For XML, since XML does not have this hierarchical structure built in, all display is absolutely necessary.

Note: The values compact and marker were present in CSS2, but have been removed from CSS2.1 due to lack of widespread support.
