Hide an ActiveX on an HTML page

[PhilTheGap]

Hello,

I woulf like to hide an activeX object in a aspx page. The ActiveX is
decalred statically in the HTML code, and I'e tried to set the html visible
"property" to "false" in the javascript page_load function (in the aspx
page). It didn't do anything although the code is executed correctly (I
check with an alert...).

Do you see why ?

There is no "visible" property in HTML. It's called display and you need to
set it to none.

Wrap your ActiveX in DIV tag
<div style="display:none">
.....
</div>

then see if ActiveX still going to be visible

Thanks for George's input.

Hi Philippe,

I agree with George that to hide a certain html element on html page, a
good approach is using the <div> with css style set to "display=none", then
any elements in the div will also be hidden. You can try it to for activex
object also.
