visibility
Description
Indicates whether the content of a positioned element is displayed.
Syntax
{ visibility: visible | hidden | inherit}
Remarks
Unlike display:none, elements that are not visible still reserve the same physical space in the content layout as they would if they were visible. Changing the visibility through scripting is useful for showing and hiding content based on a user interaction. Note that for a child element to be visible, the parent element must also be visible. See Dynamic Styles for document style scripting information.
This attribute is not inherited.
