Understand the keywords initial, inherit, unset, revert and all attributes in CSS

In CSS, there are 4 keywords that can theoretically be applied to any CSS property, they are initial (initial), inherit (inherited), unset (not set), revert (reduction). The value of all can only be the above four keywords. This article will introduce initial, inherit, unset, revert and all.

initial

Represents the initial default value of the element attribute (the default value is defined by the official CSS specification)

Compatibility: IE does not support

[Note] The initial default values ​​of each attribute are moved here

//display在官方CSS规范中定义的默认值是inline
<style>
.test{display: initial;}
</style>
<div>
    <div>测试一</div>
<span>文字</span>
    <br>
    <div>测试二</div>
<span>文字</span>
</div>

##inherit

means The calculated value of the corresponding attribute of the element's immediate parent element

Compatibility: IE7-Not supported

<style>
.box{
    border: 1px solid black;
    padding: 10px;
    width: 100px;
}
.test{
    border: inherit;
    height: 30px;
}
</style>
<div>
    <div>测试一</div>
</div>
<div>
    <div>
        <div>测试二</div>        
    </div>
</div>

unset

unset is relatively more complicated than initial and inherit. Indicates that if the property is inheritable by default, the value is inherit; otherwise, the value is initial. In fact, setting unset is equivalent to not setting

Compatibility: IE does not support it, safari9- does not support it, ios9.2- does not support it, android4.4.4- does not support it

    padding: 10px;
    width: 100px;
    color: red;

    border: unset;
    color: unset;
}
</style>
<div>
    <div>测试一</div>
    <div>测试二</div>

revert

represents the default value of the element attribute defined in the style sheet. If explicitly set in the user-defined style sheet, follow this setting; otherwise, follow the style setting in the browser-defined style sheet; otherwise, it is equivalent to unset

all

means to reset the attribute values ​​of all CSS attributes except unicode-bidi and direction. The values ​​can only be initial, inherit, and unset. Compatibility with revert

    border: 1px solid black;
    padding: 20px;

}
.in{
/*  all: initial;
    all: inherit;
    all: unset;
    all: revert; */
}
</style>
<div>
    <div>测试文字</div>            
</div>

[1]When all:initial,. All attributes of in take the default value

border:none;padding:0;color:black;

[2]When all:inherit, all attributes of .in take the inherited value of the parent element

border:1px solid black;padding:20px;color:red;

[3]When all:unset , all attributes of .in are equivalent to not setting a value, the default is inheritable inheritance, the non-inheritable ones keep the default value

border:none;padding:0;color:red;
