775941 - 'order' is a <number>, not an <integer> (nevermind, now it's an <integer> after all)

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

It appears that the flexbox <order> property changed at some point to take <number> values, not <integer> values.  (It used to be specced as taking <integer>, like z-index)
  http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-flexbox/#order

The patch that landed for <order> in bug 696253 made it take <integer>, but I need to change it to take <number> instead.

(Asking for clarification if the '<number>' choice is really intentional, here:

Adding dev-doc-needed. We document it as <number> if it goes back to <integer> (which we'll lead to this bug to go to RESOLVED INVALID) we will need to update the doc and we'll be notified thanks to the keyword. If not, we'll switch the keyword to dev-doc-complete when this bug get RESOLVED FIXED ;-)

Yay, spec has been updated to make it an <integer>, so my code turned out to be right after all. :)

So, resolving as INVALID.

I also updated the new (editable) KUMA-based MDN instance with s/number/integer/.

--> updating to dev-doc-complete.
