According to RichInStyle's bug table it's even supported by NN4 and IE4.

However, in Netscape 4 and in Opera 6 (!), this must be set at runtime, and can't be changed thereafter.

Shouldn't that be:

"runtime" meaning when the page loads and renders initial layout... By using "designtime", you're suggesting the value of the display attribute was hard-coded into the page.

But the value used could instead be the result of a conditional statement, in which case the browser decides the value at runtime.

Unless of course you had tongue in cheek...
