The property is read-only.
The property has a default value of
false. The Microsoft Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) extension is
not inherited.
Remarks
The following table shows Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) properties and corresponding values that, if set, cause an element to have layout.
As of Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, when the !DOCTYPE declaration specifies strict standards compliance, inline elements ignore the width property and the height property. By setting the width property and the height property, you cannot cause the element to have layout.
By setting the contentEditable property to true
, you can cause an element to have layout.
The following elements always have layout: BODY, IMG, INPUT, TABLE and TD.
Example
The following example shows how to use the hasLayout property to determine whether an object has layout.
<DIV ID="oWidthSet" STYLE="width:100%">
DIV element A has its width set to 100%.</DIV>
<DIV ID="oNotSet">DIV element B is not positioned,
and neither its height nor width is set.</DIV>
<P>Which DIV element has layout?</P>
<BUTTON onclick="alert(oWidthSet.currentStyle.hasLayout)">
DIV Element A</BUTTON>
<BUTTON onclick="alert(oNotSet.currentStyle.hasLayout)">
DIV Element B</BUTTON>
