Name
HEIGHT, WIDTH — NN 4 IE n/a HTML n/a
Synopsis
HEIGHT=”length"
WIDTH=”length"
Optional
Define the minimum size of the layer as it flows in the document.
When you add content to the layer, however, the attribute settings do
not restrict the amount of the content that is visible along either
axis. For example, if you display an image in an
ILAYER
that is 120 pixels wide by 90 pixels high,
the actual visible size of an ILAYER
element whose
HEIGHT
and WIDTH
attributes are
set to a smaller size expands to allow the full image to appear. The
same happens to text or other content: the viewable region expands to
allow all content to appear. To restrict the visible portion of the
content, set the CLIP
attribute.
Setting the HEIGHT
and WIDTH
attributes to specific sizes is helpful when you are creating a
colored or patterned rectangle (via the BGCOLOR
or
BACKGROUND
attributes) to act as an underlying
layer beneath some other positioned content. Without content pushing
on the edges of the ILAYER
, the
HEIGHT
and WIDTH
attributes set
the clipping region to their sizes.
Example
<ILAYER BGCOLOR="yellow" HEIGHT=100 WIDTH=100></ILAYER>
Value
Positive integer values (optionally quoted) or percentage values
(quoted). You can reduce both values to zero to not only hide the
element (which you can also do with the VISIBILITY
attribute), but prevent the element from occupying any page space.
Default
Naturally flowing viewing area of ILAYER
content.
