What does an asterisk do in a CSS property name? [duplicate]

by

It is a syntax error. So in CSS, it makes the property name invalid and stops it being parsed.

Thanks to bugs in browsers, it is sometimes ignored. This effectively causes the property to apply only to browsers featuring that particular bug — IE7.

In general, it should be avoided in favour of conditional comments.
