Description

Prompted by rwaldron's comment here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797029#c10 , this discussion happened: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012Oct/0364.html

Which discusses the addition of a new global CSS value keyword called "default", which is like "initial", except it takes the elements default attributes into consideration.

Instead of doing defaultDisplay to figure out what to set display to for .show(), we can simply do: "display: default". This would have the added benefit of not showing elements whose default display is actually "none", like script tags or style tags or input type=hidden tags.

This is not fixed, this ticket specifically mentioned display: default which this commit didn't use, obviously.

@m_gol Please read original thread posted in this ticket description - http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012Oct/0364.html.

display: default

was just a suggestion in it, which original title was "Proposing a getDefaultComputedStyle method".

getDefaultComputedStyle

ended up being implemented not

display: default

I think it would be better if next time you would assume i have a reason to close some issue or if you would consult with me before you reopen it.
