Remarks

All visible HTML objects are block or inline. For example, a div object is a block element, and a span object is an inline element. Block elements typically start a new line and can contain other block elements and inline elements. Inline elements do not typically start a new line and can contain other inline elements or data. Changing the values for the IHTMLRuleStyle::display property affects the layout of the surrounding content by:

  • Adding a new line after the element with the value block.
  • Removing a line from the element with the value inline.
  • Hiding the data for the element with the value none.

In contrast to the IHTMLRuleStyle::visibility property, IHTMLRuleStyle::display:none reserves no space for the object on the screen.

The table-header-group and table-footer-group values can be used to specify that the contents of the tHead and tFoot objects are displayed on every page for a table that spans multiple pages.

In Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0, the block, inline, and list-item values are not supported explicitly, but do render the element.

The block and inline values are supported explicitly as of Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.

In Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 and earlier, the default value of this property for li elements is block.

The inline-block value is supported starting with Internet Explorer 5.5. You can use this value to give an object a layout without specifying the object's height or width.

Starting with Internet Explorer 8, the table display styles allow elements to closely parallel the visual layout of a table. The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) table display model does not require explicit elements to correspond with the HTML tags. For example, an element styled as IHTMLRuleStyle::display does not need to be contained within a block that is styled IHTMLRuleStyle::display to be styled correctly. Implicit table elements are created as necessary in an attempt to make the document valid. Contrast this behavior to the traditional HTML table model, where table elements are implicitly closed early to avoid unexpected nesting.

In Windows Internet Explorer 7 and earlier, the default value of this property for table, tr, td, col, and colGroup elements is block.

As of Internet Explorer for Windows Phone 8.1 Update, Internet Explorer for Windows Phone supports IHTMLRuleStyle::display:"-webkit-box" as an alias for IHTMLRuleStyle::display:flex and IHTMLRuleStyle::display:"-webkit-inline-box" as an alias for IHTMLRuleStyle::display:inline-flex.

When using IHTMLRuleStyle::display:flex or IHTMLRuleStyle::display:"-webkit-box", the IHTMLStyle5::maxWidth of flex items is clamped to the available space inside the flex container.

Examples

This example shows the effect of changing the values for the IHTMLRuleStyle::display property between inline, block, and none.

Code example: http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/dhtml/refs/display.htm

<span id=oSpan>
This is a span 
</span>
in a sentence.
<p>
<input type="button" value="Block" 
    onclick="oSpan.style.display='block'">
:

This example uses function calls to hide and show table rows and cells.

Code example: http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/dhtml/refs/tables.htm

<script type="text/javascript">
function getPets()
{
    oRow1Cell2.style.display="none";
    oRow2Cell2.style.display="block";
    oRow3Cell2.style.display="none";
}
</script>
:
<table>
<tr id="oRow1"><td>Horses</td>
<td id="oRow1Cell2">Thoroughbreds</td>
<td>Fast</td></tr>
<tr id="oRow2"><td>Dogs</td>
<td id="oRow2Cell2">Greyhounds</td>
<td>Fast</td></tr>
<tr id="oRow3"><td>Marsupials</td>
<td id="oRow3Cell2">Opossums</td>
<td>Slow</td></tr>
</table>
:
<input type="button" onclick="getPets()" 
    value="Show household pets">
