hideFocus Property

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

Syntax

HTML	N/A
Scripting	object.hideFocus [ = bHidden ]

Possible Values

bHidden

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

The property is read/write. The property has no default value.

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

Remarks

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

The hideFocus property does not control the ability of an object to receive focus; instead, use the tabIndex property.
