[Solved] Purpose of '#' before a property (not ID)

[farmlad]

I recently found some css sample code that prefixed some of the properties with ‘#’ e.g.

.class {
#position: relative;
#top: 50%;
}

What does adding ‘#’ do to the property that follows it?

As far as I know..nothing..except disable it. It’s short form of commenting it out.

Browsers will ignore a property that does not start with a ‘recognised’ character.

It’s possible someone was trying to comment out the property temporarily.
