The specified values for the CSS 'visibility' property do not include
'none'. Such a declaration should be ignored, and if not ignored can
be expected to be subject to inconsistent handling.

re: Re: hide whole body but one div

Thanks for your answers... I will study links you provided me.

What I want to do is to load some page (like google.com) hide it and
then display only one div.

Problem with visibility is that hidden elements still keep their
places... for that display="none" looks much better, but unfortunately
does not work with nested elements to be visible

1.- Hide by setting style.visibility= "hidden"
2.- Hide by extracting the element out of document.body.
3.- Hide by setting style.display= "none".

But the OP question still remains unanswered : if
document.body.style.display === "none", is there a way to override
this setting on an inner element ?

I don't know the answer.

I know that document.body.style.visibility= "hidden" can be easily
overriden on an inner element just by setting the element's
style.visibility= "visible". How can this be done if
document.body.style.display === "none" ?

On Jul 3, 9:37*am, Jorge <jo...@jorgechamorro.comwrote:That is a CSS question, the answer is in the CSS 2.1 Specification:

'display'
[...]
none
This value causes an element to generate no boxes in
the formatting structure (i.e., the element has no effect on
layout). Descendant elements do not generate any boxes either;
this behavior cannot be overridden by setting the 'display'
property on the descendants.

You should now :-)
Because that is how visibility is specified to work:

<URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visufx.ht...def-visibility >
It can't in a UA that conforms with CSS 2.1.

re: Re: hide whole body but one div

Jorge a écrit :I think : no.
I'm surprised that visibilty works.
But all that is a question of logic.
¡Tanto peor! jamás lo sabría.

javascript:document.body.innerHTML=document.getEle mentById('aDiv').innerHTML;

and button back to reverse I presume

Plus simple tu meurs ;-)
