Description Andrew Paprotsky 2014-09-17 05:47:13 PDT
1. Create a non-empty element with the following style applied :empty {display: none}
2. Remove all children of the element or simply set innerHTML to an empty string.
3. At this point the element is hidden.
4. Add some children to the element or set innerHTML to a non-empty string.
5. The element is still hidden.

Safari, Chrome, and Firefox all agree on rendering for this test case. I don't believe there is any remaining compatibility issue.
