What does an asterisk do in a CSS property name?
css
Solution
It is a syntax error. So in CSS, it makes the property name invalid and stops it being parsed.
Thanks to bugs in browsers, it is sometimes ignored. This effectively causes the property to apply only to browsers featuring that particular bug — IE7.
In general, it should be avoided in favour of conditional comments.
Problem
I know what an asterisk does in a selector for CSS (What does an Asterisk do?), but what does it do in a property name? Here is an example of CSS used by YUI. I don't know what the `*display` does. ``` .yui-button .first-child { display:block; *display:inline-block; } ```
