Remarks
In Internet Explorer 4.0, the block , inline , and list-item values are not supported explicitly, but do render the element.
The block and inline values are supported explicitly as of Internet Explorer 5.
In Internet Explorer 5.5 and earlier, the default value of this property for li elements is block .
The inline-block value is supported as of Internet Explorer 5.5. You can use this value to give an object a layout without specifying the object's height or width.
All visible HTML objects are block or inline. For example, a div object is a block element, and a span object is an inline element. Block elements typically start a new line and can contain other block elements and inline elements. Inline elements do not typically start a new line and can contain other inline elements or data. Changing the values for the display property affects the layout of the surrounding content by:
In contrast to the visibility property, display = none reserves no space for the object on the screen.
The table-header-group and table-footer-group values can be used to specify that the contents of the tHead and tFoot objects are displayed on every page for a table that spans multiple pages.
Examples
This example shows the effect of changing the values for the display property between inline , block , and none .
<SPAN ID=oSpan> This is a SPAN </SPAN> in a sentence. <P>This example uses function calls to hide and show table rows and cells.
