This is really neat. I landed here from Jeremy Keith's Conditional CSS, but it looks like my latest version of Chrome ignores
getComputedStyle(el, ':after').getPropertyValue('content');when the display is none. It looks like it's a Chrome bug? https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=236603
