CSSProperties no LeftUnionType, TopUnionType, etc

[aeromac]

Hi, I was just wondering why properties such as Width use types such as WidthUnionType which allows setting a double or String, however, Left does not have a similar type and is instead declared as a String type.

Thank you

Elemental takes these from Closure (specifically https://github.com/google/closure-compiler/blob/e6957b2a68b522a2483ab268cd835b8c706aca36/externs/browser/w3c_css.js#L1734 is a string and other properties are number|string, which gets converted to *UnionType when generating the Java code). This changed in google/closure-compiler@7bd7987 , but I couldn't find any more info. You can ask the Closure community 🤷

This is to avoid bugs. Although it's valid to assign 0 to element.style.left/right/top/bottom, any other numbers without units are silently ignored.

And I think they should do the same for others properties with unit, but it may break too many internal code.

Reopening the issue, the Closure extern file could could be improved.
