Visibility
Visibility (Vis in the Property inspector) defines whether you can see an AP element on a Web page. Four
values are available:
n Default: Enables the browser to set the visibility attribute. Most browsers use the inherit value
as their default.
n Inherit: Sets the visibility to the same value as that of the parent AP element, which enables a
series of AP elements to be hidden or made visible by changing only one AP element.
n Visible: Causes the AP element and all its contents to be displayed.
n Hidden: Makes the current AP element and all its contents invisible.
Remember the following when you??™re specifying visibility:
n Whether or not you can see an AP element, remember that the AP element still occupies space on
the page and demands some of the page-loading time. Hiding an AP element does not affect the
layout of the page, and invisible graphics take just as long to download as visible graphics.
n When you are defining the visibility of a positioned object or AP element, do not use default as
the visibility value. A designer does not necessarily know whether the site??™s end user has set the
default visibility to visible or hidden. Designing an effective Web page can be difficult without
this knowledge. The common browser default is for visibility to be inherited, if not specifically
shown or hidden.
