html - Why is the "display" css property not in the default whitelist for the owasp java library? -

-

i using owasp java library on backend service in order sanitize html sent client. owasp java library has css whitelist of css rules allow inside of style tag inside of html elements. can find whitelist here.

one thing noticed whitelist display property omitted. means if create html code following:

<div style="margin-left:0px;display:none;"></div>

then html sanitizer default styling whitelist strip out display rule , html saved on server be: 

<div style="margin-left:0px;"></div>

why display property not white-listed default?

because other white-listed styles wouldn't work due element not being displayed @

update

display has lot of weird edge cases affect layout in weird ways.

inline, block, , inline-block safe in contexts.

fixed safe in none.

table , others dodgy since there may ways break visual containment.

even block , inline block can break visual containment example policy allows inline tags when embedder fixes width of container , doesn't hide overflow.

asp.net mvc - breakpoint on javascript in CSHTML? -

-
i have .cshtml file has javascript tag. within script tag have few lines of javascript. first line of javascript refers property in @viewbag. other javascript lines plain script without mvc related references. observation: can place breakpoints (visual studio 2015) on each of these javascript lines. however, breakpoints has white dot in center of breakpoint symbol (red circle) except line @viewbag reference (this particular line not have white dot in center). it seems breakpoint without white dot hit during run-time. question: can explain going on here? white dot mean? why plain red breakpoint line line hitting breakpoint? the visual studio debugger expecting debug actual server-side code within .cshtml file opposed client-side javascript within it. iirc, visual studio allow debug javascript code expected in internet explorer (and possibly edge), other browsers want use either third-party tool or developer tools (f12) within browser. an easy approach take advant...
