Name

HIDDEN — NN 2 IE 4 HTML n/a

Synopsis

HIDDEN="true” | “false”

Optional

Predating style sheet borders, the HIDDEN attribute is a switch that lets you set whether the embedded data’s plugin control panel appears on the screen. This might be desirable for background music under script control (via Netscape’s LiveConnect). When you set the HIDDEN attribute, the HEIGHT and WIDTH attributes are overridden.

Example

<EMBED SRC="soothing.aif" HIDDEN></EMBED>

Value

true | false

Default

false
