Sets or retrieves whether objects are drawn offscreen before being made visible to the user.
Syntax
HTML N/A Scripting window.offscreenBuffering [ = vBuffering ]
Possible Values
vBuffering Variant that specifies one of the following values:
auto String that allows Internet Explorer to decide when offscreen buffering is used. true Boolean that enables offscreen buffering. false Boolean that disables offscreen buffering. The property is read/write with a default value of auto.
Expressions can be used in place of the preceding value(s), as of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5. For more information, see Dynamic Properties.
Remarks
The value of the offscreenBuffering property determines how the current page is drawn. When the property is set to true, objects are added to an offscreen buffer. Once all objects are drawn, the contents of the offscreen buffer are made visible to the user. When the property is set to false, objects are rendered directly to the screen.
By default, Internet Explorer decides when to buffer objects offscreen. In addition, Internet Explorer automatically enables offscreen buffering when Microsoft® DirectX®-based components are used on the page.
