Description
(This is a follow-up of recent changes from #12401 following the resolution in #8376 (comment).)
They accept different range values:
- media:
<number>
,<dimension>
,<ratio>
- style:
<number>
,<percentage>
,<length>
,<angle>
,<time>
,<frequency>
,<resolution>
There is probably a reason to restrict dimension types for style range values. But I suspect that <flex>
and <ratio>
should be valid.
(No media feature values accept <percentage>
so this difference may be is normal, but I wonder if it should be valid for future compat with a media feature value accepting a raw percentage, to make its query evaluate to )unknown
... which is off topic.
Style range values are actually defined with <declaration-value>
and validated against the above numeric types at evaluation time. If this validation fails, it evaluates to false
. If I am not mistaken, a consequence is that not style(1px < 1unknown)
evaluates to true
instead of unknown
, which becomes false
at the top-level, like for not media(width < 1unknown)
. (This assumes that media()
- and other functional conditions - are always used in a context accepting <general-enclosed>
as a fallback.)
So I just want to make sure that these differences are not an oversight.
