Is there any difference between this two alternatives?
I mean, does the browser stops parsing after finding "display: none;" ?


Have anyone seen Mozilla source code? It hard to say what happens
either in IE or Opera I guess...

div.whatever_class{
property1
property2
property3
property4
property5
property6
property7
display: none;
}


div.whatever_class{
display: none;
property1
property2
property3
property4
property5
property6
property7

}

regards - julian

It theoretically could depend on what the other properties are, but
basically no difference. -At least that's the theory.

No, it doesn't.

It's easy to say what happens with IE and Opera: "no, it doesn't".

If you want proof:

<style type="text/css">
#foo {
        background-color: yellow;
        display: none;
        color: red;
}
</style>

<div id="foo">bar</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
function fooer()
{
        var f = document.getElementById('foo');
        var s = window.getComputedStyle(f);
        window.alert(s.color); // popup window gives hex value for red.
}
window.onload = fooer;
</script>

I certainly hope not. What happens if the next line is "display:block;"

This behaviour is so wrong-headed that I really doubt _any_ browser has
been tempted by it.
