<p>This section is <em>informative</em>.</p>
<p>
<span class="p-summary">
This specification describes user interface related selectors, properties and values that are proposed for CSS level 3 to style HTML and XML (including XHTML).
It includes and extends user interface related features from the selectors, properties and values of CSS level 2 revision 1 and Selectors specifications.
</span>
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a language for describing
the rendering of HTML and XML documents on screen, on paper, in speech, etc.
It uses various selectors, properties and values to style basic user interface elements in a document.
</p>
<h2 style="page-break-before:auto" class="no-num no-toc" id="status">Status of this document</h2>
<!--status-->
<p>This specification is a <strong>Last Call Working
Draft</strong>, although it was previously a Candidate Recommendation.
It has been returned to Last Call Working Draft
because this draft removes features
that were not implemented sufficiently to advance
to Proposed Recommendation,
and had not been previously listed as at risk,
as <a href="http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html#cfi"
>required</a>
by the W3C Process.
This draft also adds a couple of new properties and values.
See <a href="#changes">Appendix C. Changes</a> for further details.
<!-- This specification may advance directly to Proposed
Recommendation following the last call, depending on comments and
implementation reports. -->
All persons are encouraged to review this
document and send comments to the <a
href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/">www-style
mailing list</a> as described above. The <strong>deadline for
comments</strong>
is four weeks after the date of publication in the header or
14 February 2012, whichever is sooner.
</p>
<h3 class="no-num no-toc" id="crec">Candidate Recommendation Exit Criteria</h3>
<p>For this specification to enter the Proposed Recommendation stage,
the following conditions shall be met:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>There must be at least two interoperable implementations
for every feature. For the purposes of this criterion,
we define the following terms:</p>
<dl>
<dt>feature</dt>
<dd>
<p>
A section or subsection of the specification.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>interoperable</dt>
<dd>
<p>passing the respective test cases in the test suite, or,
if the implementation is not a web browser, equivalent tests.
Every relevant test in the test suite should have an equivalent
test created if such a user agent (UA) is to be used to claim interoperability.
In addition if such a UA is to be used to claim interoperability,
then there must one or more additional UAs which can also pass
those equivalent tests in the same way for the purpose of
interoperability. The equivalent tests must be made publicly
available for the purposes of peer review.</p>
</dd>
<dt>implementation</dt>
<dd>
<p>a user agent which:</p>

<h3 class="no-num no-toc" id="atrisk">Features at risk</h3>
<p>The Working Group has identified the following features as at risk
of being removed from CSS Basic User Interface Module Level 3
when exiting CR.
Implementors are urged to implement these features,
if they wish to see these features remain in this specification.
All other features are either defined in a normative reference
(e.g. CSS 2.1 [[!CSS21]] or Selectors [[!SELECT]])
or are believed to have two or more implementations,
and thus will not be dropped without returning to last call.</p>

<h2 class="no-num no-toc" id="summary">Overview</h2>
<p>This section is <em>informative</em>.</p>
<p>This document is one of the "modules" for the upcoming CSS3
specification. It not only describes the user interface related
properties and values that already exist in
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1">CSS1</a> [[CSS1]]
and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21">CSS2.1</a> [[!CSS21]], but introduces
new properties and values for CSS3 as well.
The Working Group doesn't expect that all implementations of CSS3 will implement
all properties or values. Instead, there will probably be a small number of variants of CSS3, so-called "profiles".
</p>
<p>This document is the result of the merging of relevant parts of
the following Recommendations and Working Drafts, and the addition of some new features.
</p>
<ul>
<li>Cascading Style Sheets, level 2, revision 1 [[!CSS21]]</li>
<li><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/WD-css3-userint-20000216">User Interface for CSS3 (16 February 2000)</a> [[CSSUI]]</li>
</ul>
<p>This specification contains:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements to style
user interface states and element fragments respectively.
</li>
<li>Additions to the user interface features in
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21">CSS2.1</a>.</li>
<li>Directional focus navigation properties.</li>
<li>A mechanism to allow the styling of elements as icons for accessibility.</li>

<hr>
<h2 id="intro">Introduction</h2>
<p>
CSS3 is a set of modules, divided up and profiled in order to
simplify the specification,
and to allow implementors the flexibility of supporting
the particular modules appropriate for their implementations.
</p>
<p>
This module describes selectors and CSS properties which enable authors
to style user interface related states, element fragments, properties
and values.
</p>
<p><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1#anchor-pseudo-classes">Section 2.1 of CSS1</a> [[CSS1]]
and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/ui.html">Chapter 18 of CSS2</a> [[CSS2]]
introduced several user interface related pseudo-classes, properties and values.
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#UIstates">Section 6.6.4 of Selectors</a> [[!SELECT]] also describes several additional user interface related pseudo-classes (and one pseudo-element).
</p>
<p>
This Working Draft extends them to provide the ability, through CSS,
to style elements based upon additional user interface states,
to style fragments of user interface elements, and to alter the
dynamic presentation of elements in ways previously only available through specific HTML4/XHTML1 elements and attributes.
</p>
<h3 id="purpose">Purpose</h3>
<p>The purpose of this specification is to achieve the following objectives:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Extend the user interface features in CSS2.1.</li>
<li>Provide additional CSS mechanisms to augment or replace other
dynamic presentation related features in HTML4/XHTML1.</li>
<li>Introduce directional navigation properties to assist in the construction of
user interfaces which make use of a directional navigation model.</li>
<li>Introduce properties and values to specify icon presentations for
elements to enhance accessibility.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Conformance</h2>
<h3>Definitions</h3>
<p>The key words <span class="index-def" title="MUST">"MUST"</span>,
<span class="index-def" title="MUST NOT">"MUST NOT"</span>, <span
class="index-def" title="REQUIRED">"REQUIRED"</span>, <span
class="index-def" title="SHALL">"SHALL"</span>, <span
class="index-def" title="SHALL NOT">"SHALL NOT"</span>, <span
class="index-def" title="SHOULD">"SHOULD"</span>, <span
class="index-def" title="SHOULD NOT">"SHOULD NOT"</span>, <span
class="index-def" title="RECOMMENDED">"RECOMMENDED"</span>, <span
class="index-def" title="MAY">"MAY"</span>, and <span
class="index-def" title="OPTIONAL">"OPTIONAL"</span> in this document
are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 (see [[!RFC2119]]).
However, for readability, these words do not typically appear
in all uppercase letters in this specification.
</p>
<p>Additional key words, e.g. "User agent (UA)", are
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/conform.html#defs">defined
by CSS 2.1</a> ([[!CSS21]], section 3.1).</p>
<h3>Classes of products</h3>
<p>The following classes of products (many of which overlap)
should consider implementing this specification:</p>
<ul>
<li>Web browsers</li>
<li>User agents that implement one or more of the following types of
content: HTML ([[HTML401]], [[HTML5]]), XHTML ([[XHTML10]],
[[XHTML11]]), XForms (e.g. [[XFORMS11]]), SVG (e.g. [[SVG10]],
[[SVG11]]) or other content languages that contain forms controls
or are intended for user interaction
</li>
<li>User agents that implement one or more levels or modules of CSS
(e.g. [[CSS1]], [[!CSS21]])</li>
</ul>
<h3>Extensions</h3>
<p>This specification does not define
any explicit extension mechanisms.
If an implementation needs to extend the functionality
of this specification, it must follow any/all guidelines
and requirements of extensions as defined in CSS2.1, e.g.
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#vendor-keywords"
>Vendor-specific extensions</a>
([[!CSS21]], section 4.1.2.1).
</p>
<h2>Dependencies on other modules</h2>
<p>
This CSS3 module depends on the following other specifications.
</p>
<ul>
<li>[[!SELECT]]</li>
<li>[[!CSS3COLOR]]</li>
<li>[[!CSS21]]</li>
</ul>
<!--
<p>It has non-normative (informative) references to the following
other specifications:</p>
<ul>
</ul>
-->
<p>
The following work is related to the CSS Basic User Interface Module Level 3 (CSS3 Basic UI).
</p>
<ul>
<li>[[HTML401]]</li>
<li>[[HTML5]]</li>
<li>[[UAAG10]]</li>
<li>[[XML10]]</li>
<li>[[XHTML10]]</li>
<li>[[XHTML11]]</li>
<li>[[XFORMS11]]</li>
</ul>
<p>This specification does not define what is a form element.</p>
<h2>User Interface Selectors</h2>
<h3 id="pseudo-classes">User interface states: pseudo-classes</h3>
<p>The Selectors specification <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#UIstates">defines several user interface selectors</a> ([[!SELECT]], sections 6.6.1 and 6.6.4) which represent
user interface states:</p>
<ul><li id="psuedo-hover"><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#useraction-pseudos">:hover</a></li>
<li id="pseudo-active"><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#useraction-pseudos">:active</a></li>
<li id="pseudo-focus"><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#useraction-pseudos">:focus</a></li>
<li id="pseudo-enabled"><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#enableddisabled">:enabled</a></li>
<li id="pseudo-disabled"><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#enableddisabled">:disabled</a></li>
<li id="pseudo-checked"><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#checked">:checked</a></li>
<li id="pseudo-indeterminate"><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#indeterminate">:indeterminate</a></li>
</ul>
<p>These pseudo-classes as defined by [[!SELECT]] are
included in this specification by reference.</p>
<p>CSS 2.1 [[!CSS21]] specifies additional details
for some of the selectors mentioned, above and beyond Selectors.
</p>
<h4 id="active">:active details</h4>
<p>In addition, on systems with more than one mouse button,
:active is clarified to apply only to the primary
or primary activation button (typically the "left" mouse button),
and any aliases thereof.
</p>
<h4 id="indeterminate">
The indeterminate-value pseudo-class '':indeterminate''</h4>
<p>The <code>:indeterminate</code> pseudo-class applies
to UI elements whose value is in an indeterminate state.
For example, radio and checkbox elements
can be toggled between checked and unchecked states,
but are sometimes in an indeterminate state,
neither checked nor unchecked.
Similarly a progress meter can be in an indeterminate state
when the percent completion is unknown.
</p>
<p>Like the <code>:checked</code> pseudo-class,
<code>:indeterminate</code> applies to all media.
Components of a radio-group initialized with no pre-selected choice,
for example, would be <code>:indeterminate</code>
even in a static display.
</p>
<h4 class="no-num no-toc">New user interface state pseudo-classes</h4>
<p>In addition to the above-mentioned pseudo-classes, this specification introduces several new pseudo-classes to define additional user interface states.
</p>
<ul>
<li>:default</li>
<li>:valid</li>
<li>:invalid</li>
<li>:in-range</li>
<li>:out-of-range</li>
<li>:required</li>
<li>:optional</li>
<li>:read-only</li>
<li>:read-write</li>
</ul>
<p>Specifically, these new states (except for :default) are provided as a way to style elements which are in the respective states as defined by XForms [[XFORMS11]].</p>
<h4 id="pseudo-default">:default</h4>
<p>The :default selector applies to the one or more UI elements
that are the default among a set of similar elements.
This selector typically applies to context menu items,
buttons, and select lists/menus.
</p>
<p>
One example is the default submit button among a set of buttons. Another example is the default option from a popup menu. Multiple elements in a select-many group could have multiple :default elements, like a selection of pizza toppings for example.
</p>
<h4 id="pseudo-validity"><span id="pseudo-valid">:valid</span>
and <span id="pseudo-invalid">:invalid</span></h4>
<p>An element is :valid or :invalid when it is,
respectively, valid or invalid with respect to data validity semantics
defined by a different specification (e.g. [[XFORMS11]]).
An element which lacks data validity semantics is neither :valid nor :invalid. This is different from an element which otherwise has no constraints. Such an element would always be :valid.
</p>
<h4 id="pseudo-range"><span id="pseudo-in-range">:in-range</span> and <span id="pseudo-out-of-range">:out-of-range</span></h4>
<p>
The :in-range and :out-of-range pseudo-classes apply only to elements that have range limitations. An element is :in-range or :out-of-range when the value that the element is bound to is in range or out of range of the presentation (e.g. visual or spoken representation) of the element respectively. An element that lacks data range limits or is not a form control is neither :in-range nor
:out-of-range. E.g. a slider element with a value of 11 presented as a slider control that only represents the values from 1-10 is :out-of-range. Another example is a menu element with a value of "E" that happens to be presented as a popup menu that only has choices "A", "B" and "C".
</p>
<h4 id="pseudo-required-value"><span id="pseudo-required">:required</span>
and <span id="pseudo-optional">:optional</span></h4>
<p>A form element is :required or :optional if a value for it
is, respectively, required or optional before the form it belongs to is submitted. Elements that are not form elements are neither required nor optional.
</p>
<h4 id="pseudo-ro-rw"><span id="pseudo-read-only">:read-only</span>
and <span id="pseudo-read-write">:read-write</span></h4>
<p>An element whose contents are not user-alterable is :read-only.
However, elements whose contents are user-alterable (such as text input fields) are considered to be in a :read-write state. In typical documents,
most elements are :read-only. However it may be possible (e.g. in the context of an editor) for any element to become :read-write.</p>
<h3 id="pseudo-elements">User interface element fragments: pseudo-elements</h3>
<p>
In addition to the above-mentioned pseudo-element,
this specification introduces four new pseudo-elements
to provide access to additional user interface element fragments.
</p>
<ul><li>::value</li>
<li>::choices</li>
<li>::repeat-item</li>
<li>::repeat-index</li>
</ul>
<p>Specifically, these new pseudo-elements are provided
as a way to style user interface fragments
as defined by XForms [[XFORMS11]].</p>
<p class="note">
Note: The ::value, ::choices, ::repeat-item, and ::repeat-index
pseudo-elements are all at risk.
</p>
<h4 id="pseudo-value">::value</h4>
<p>A form element may contain both a label for its data value,
and the data value itself. For such elements, the ::value pseudo-element
selects the representation of just the data value itself, in order to
style its appearance.
</p>
<div class="example"><p style="display:none">Example(s):</p>
<h4 class="no-num no-toc">fictional markup and illustration</h4>
<p>
Here is an example which illustrates the ::value of a text input field with fictional markup which is then styled with CSS.
</p>
<h5 class="no-num no-toc">sample XForms fragment with fictional markup:</h5>
<pre><code>
<input>
<label>Zip code<label>
<em><input::value/></em>
</input>
</code></pre>
<h5 class="no-num no-toc">sample CSS:</h5>
<pre><code class="css">
input { border:dashed }
label { border:dotted }
input::value { border:solid }
</code></pre>
<h5 class="no-num no-toc">an HTML+CSS approximation of this example</h5>
<p>
<span style="border:dashed;display:inline-block;padding:10px">
<label
style="border:dotted;display:inline-block;padding:2px;margin:0;font-size:1em"
>Zip code</label>
<input type="text"
style="border:solid;display:inline-block;padding:2px;margin:0;font-size:1em"
value="94117">
</span>
</p>
<p>Spacing (in the form of padding) has been added to the above approximation to separate the borders and make the individual (pseudo-)elements easier to distinguish.
</p>
</div>
<p>The ::value pseudo-element is similar to an inline-level element, but with certain restrictions.
The following properties apply to <code>::value</code>
pseudo-element: font properties, color property, background properties,
'word-spacing', 'letter-spacing', 'text-decoration', 'vertical-align',
'text-transform', 'line-height'. UAs may apply other properties as well.
</p>
<h4 id="pseudo-choices">::choices</h4>
<p>Similarly, a form element which represents a list of options may contain
both a label for the list, and the list of choices itself. For such elements, the ::choices pseudo-element selects the representation of just the list of choices themselves, in order to style their appearance.
</p>
<p>A list of radio buttons can also be selected with the ::choices pseudo-element, and the currently chosen radio button can be selected with the ::value pseudo-element.</p>
<h4 id="pseudo-repeat-item">::repeat-item</h4>
<p>
The ::repeat-item pseudo-element represents a single item from a repeating sequence. It is generated as a parent to all the elements in a single repeating item. Each ::repeat-item is associated with a particular instance data node, and is affected by the model item properties (e.g. '<code>relevant</code>') found there, as the related style properties will cascade to the child elements.
</p>
<h4 id="pseudo-repeat-index">::repeat-index</h4>
<p>
The ::repeat-index pseudo-element represents the current item of a repeating sequence. It takes the place of the ::repeat-item as a parent of all the elements in the index repeating item.
</p>
<div class="note"><p>
<em><strong>Note.</strong>
Any style declarations that an author wants to apply to all repeat items, including the index, must be done so by using both ::repeat-item and ::repeat-index selectors. Styles that are only applied to ::repeat-item will not automatically be applied to the respective ::repeat-index.
</em></p>
</div>
<div class="example"><p style="display:none">Example(s):</p>
<h4 class="no-num no-toc">::repeat-item and ::repeat-index fictional markup</h4>
<p>
Here is an example that illustrates both ::repeat-item and ::repeat-index, since they are often both available and used at the same time. Assume appropriate namespace declarations were made in a header somewhere preceding the code in the example.
</p>
<p>The following markup snippet uses XHTML and XForms:</p>
<pre><code lang="x-xhtml">
<html:table xforms:repeat-nodeset="...">
<html:tr>
<html:td><xforms:input ref="..."/><xforms:input ref="..."/></html:td>
</html:tr>
</html:table>
</code></pre>
<p>
The following style rules are used to style all the repeated items and the current repeated item.
</p>
<pre><code class="css" lang="x-css">
html|tr::repeat-item { outline: medium solid; color:gray }
html|tr::repeat-index { outline: medium d
1E68
ashed; color:black }
</code></pre>
<p>
The following fictional markup shows the state of the above markup when through user interaction the XForm contains three of the repeated items, where the third item is current.
</p>
<pre><code lang="x-xhtml">
<html:table xforms:repeat-nodeset="...">
<em><html:tr::repeat-item></em>
<html:tr>
<html:td><xforms:input ref="..."/><xforms:input ref="..."/></html:td>
</html:tr>
<em></html:tr::repeat-item></em>
<em><html:tr::repeat-item></em>
<html:tr>
<html:td><xforms:input ref="..."/><xforms:input ref="..."/></html:td>
</html:tr>
<em></html:tr::repeat-item></em>
<em><html:tr::repeat-index></em>
<html:tr>
<html:td><xforms:input ref="..."/><xforms:input ref="..."/></html:td>
</html:tr>
<em></html:tr::repeat-index></em>
</html:table>
</code></pre>
</div>
<div class="note"><p>
<em><strong>Note.</strong>
The ::repeat-index pseudo-element takes the place of the ::repeat-item rather than b
ED58
eing nested inside as a separate element. Thus just like :link or :visited are mutually exclusive for selecting hyperlinks, only one will exist and apply to a particular repeated item at any point.</em></p>

<dd>URIs (see [[!URI]], [[!RFC1738]] and [[!RFC1808]]) provide a way of identifying resources. The <uri> value(s) in this property refer to one or more icons in a comma delimited list. The user agent loads the referenced icons one by one until it finds one that it is able to render. This permits the usage of multiple different icon formats for various platforms, and various media for that matter.</dd>
</dl>
<p>The <span class="property">'icon'</span> property provides the author the ability to style any arbitrary element with an iconic equivalent. An element's icon is not used/rendered unless the <span class="property">'content'</span> property is set to the value '<span class="value" title="">icon</span>' (see above).

<dd>This is the behavior of width and height as specified by CSS2.1.

and border of the element are laid out and drawn outside the
specified width and height.</dd>
<dt>padding-box</dt>
<dd>
The specified width and height (and respective min/max properties)
on this element determine the padding box of the element.
That is, any padding specified on the element is laid out and
drawn inside this specified width and height.
The content width and height are calculated by
subtracting the padding widths of the respective sides

<dd>The specified width and height (and respective min/max properties) on this element determine the border box of the element. That is, any padding or border
specified on the element is laid out and drawn inside this specified
width and height. The content width and height are calculated by
subtracting the border and padding widths of the respective sides
from the specified <span class="property">'width'</span> and <span class="property">'height'</span> properties. As the content width and height <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#the-width-property">cannot be negative</a> ([[!CSS21]], section 10.2), this computation is floored at 0.

<h4 class="no-num no-toc">Using box-sizing to evenly share space</h4>
<p>This example uses box-sizing to evenly horizontally split two divs with fixed size borders inside a div container, which would otherwise require additional markup.
</p>
<h5 class="no-num no-toc">sample CSS:</h5>
<pre><code class="css">
div.container {
width:38em;
border:1em solid black;
}
div.split {
box-sizing:border-box;
width:50%;
border:1em silver ridge;
float:left;
}
</code></pre>
<h5 class="no-num no-toc">sample HTML fragment:</h5>
<pre><code>
<div class="container">
<div class="split">This div occupies the left half.</div>
<div class="split">This div occupies the right half.</div>
</div>
</code></pre>
<h5 class="no-num no-toc">demonstration of sample CSS and HTML:</h5>
<div style="width:38em; border:1em solid black"><div style="box-sizing:border-box; width:50%; border:1em silver ridge; float:left">This div should occupy the left half.</div><div style="box-sizing:border-box; width:50%; border:1em silver ridge; float:left">This div should occupy the right half.</div>The two divs above should appear side by side, each (including borders) 50% of the content width of their container. If instead they are stacked one on top of the other then your browser does not support <span class="property">'box-sizing'</span>.

<h2>Outline properties</h2>
<p>At times, style sheet authors may want to create outlines around
visual objects such as buttons, active form fields, image maps, etc.,
to make them stand out. Outlines differ from borders in the following
ways:</p>
<ol>
<li>Outlines do not take up space. </li>
<li>Outlines may be non-rectangular. </li>
</ol>
<p>The outline properties control the style of these dynamic outlines.

<p>The outline created with the outline properties is drawn "over" a
box, i.e., the outline is always on top, and doesn't influence the
position or size of the box, or of any other boxes. Therefore,
displaying or suppressing outlines does not cause reflow.
</p>
<p>Outlines may be non-rectangular.
For example, if the element is broken across several lines, the
outline should be an outline or minimum set of outlines that encloses all
the element's boxes. Each part of the outline should be fully connected
rather than open on some sides (as borders on inline elements are when
lines are broken). The parts of the outline are not required to be
rectangular. The position of the outline may be affected by
descendant boxes. User agents should use an algorithm for determining
the outline that encloses a region appropriate for conveying the
concept of focus to the user.
</p>
<p>The <span class=property>'outline-width'</span> property accepts
the same values as <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/box.html#propdef-border-width" class="noxref"><span
class="propinst-border-width">'border-width'</span></a> ([[!CSS21]], section 8.5.1).
</p>
<p>The <span class=property>'outline-style'</span> property accepts
the same values as
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/box.html#propdef-border-style"
class="noxref"
><span class="propinst-border-style"
>'border-style'</span></a>
([[!CSS21]], section 8.5.3), except that
'<span class="value">hidden</span>' is not a legal outline style.
In addition, in CSS3,
<span class=property>'outline-style'</span>
accepts the value '<span class="value">auto</span>'.
The '<span class="value">auto</span>' value permits the user agent
to render a custom outline style,
typically a style which is either a user interface default
for the platform, or perhaps a style that is richer
than can be described in detail in CSS,
e.g. a rounded edge outline with semi-translucent outer pixels
that appears to glow.
As such, this specification does not define how the
<span class="property">'outline-color'</span>
is incorporated or used (if at all) when rendering
'<span class="value">auto</span>' style outlines.
User agents may treat '<span class="value">auto</span>' as
'<span class="value">solid</span>'.
</p>
<p>The <span class="property">'outline-color'</span> property
accepts all colors, as well as the keyword '<dfn>invert</dfn>'. 'Invert' is expected to perform a color inversion on the pixels on the screen. This is a
common trick to ensure the focus border is visible, regardless of
color background.
</p>
<p>
Conformant UAs may ignore the '<span class="value">invert</span>' value on platforms that do not support color inversion of the pixels on the screen. If the UA does not support the '<span class="value">invert</span>' value then the initial value of the <span class="property">'outline-color'</span>
property is the '<span class="value">currentColor</span>' [[!CSS3COLOR]] keyword.
