hide contents of DIV

[Andrew Poulos]

I have a DIV element with a background image. The DIV is a container for
a number of other elements. Without iterating through the contents of
the DIV, is there a way to hide the contents and yet leave the
background image visible?

Is the background image considered part of the contents of a DIV?

You could do so via CSS:

..hideChildren * {
visibility : hidden;
}

To hide all children of an element you simply have to add the class
hideChildren. Unfortunately this leaves text nodes visible, as long as
they are direct children. As a workaround you could move those into spans.

What about creating another div under the first with the same background
image and size, but without elements?

Hmm, I like that suggestion. Thanks I'll try it.

I think : no
(the background will not fix the size of its support)

Image in background if in no-repeat wlll be cut if the element is
smaller than the image.
The background may be placed (marges)
intersting feature used in "slide-doors" concept (see Google).
