HIDEFOCUS Attribute | hideFocus Property  Internet Development Index

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sets or retrieves the value indicating whether the object visibly indicates that it has focus.

Syntax

HTML <ELEMENT HIDEFOCUS ... >  
Scripting object.hideFocus(v) [ = bHidden ]

Possible Values

bHidden Boolean that specifies or receives one of the following values.true Focus is not visibly indicated.
false Default. Focus is visibly indicated.


The property is read/write. The property has a default value of false.

Expressions can be used in place of the preceding value(s), as of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5. For more information, see About Dynamic Properties.

Remarks

The focus of an object is visibly indicated by a focus rectangle—a dotted rectangle within the boundaries of the object.

This property does not control the ability of an object to receive focus; for that, use the tabIndex property.

Example

The following example shows how to use the HIDEFOCUS attribute to prevent a focus rectangle from appearing on a button.
