Name

VISIBILITY — NN 4 IE n/a HTML n/a

Synopsis

VISIBILITY=”visibilityConstant"

Optional

Determines whether Navigator displays the ILAYER element. The default behavior is for a layer to inherit the VISIBILITY attribute of its next outermost (parent) layer. For an ILAYER element that is part of the basic document body, this means that the layer is seen by default (the base layer is always visible). To hide a layer when the page loads, set the VISIBILITY attribute to "hidden". You need set the attribute to "show" only if the ILAYER element is nested within another LAYER whose VISIBILITY value is set to (or is inherited as) "hidden".

Regardless of the VISIBILITY attribute setting, an ILAYER element always occupies its normal inflow space in the document. This allows Navigator to change the visibility on the fly (via scripting) without reloading the document. (Navigator 4 does not automatically reflow changed content.)

Example

<ILAYER SRC="quotes.html" VISIBILITY="hidden"></ILAYER>

Value

One of the accepted constants: hidden | inherit | visible.

Default

inherit
