visibility

Description

Sets or retrieves whether the content of the element is displayed.

Syntax

object.style.visibility[ = visibility]

Remarks

Unlike display:none, elements that are not visible still reserve the same physical space in the content layout as they would if they were visible. Changing the visibility through scripting is useful for showing and hiding content based on user interaction. Note that for a child element to be visible, the parent element must also be visible. See Dynamic Styles for document style scripting information.

The property has read/write permission.
