BarProp: visible property

Baseline Widely available *

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

* Some parts of this feature may have varying levels of support.

The visible read-only property of the BarProp interface returns true if the user interface element it represents is visible.

Value

A Boolean, which is true if the top-level window is opened by window.open with the popup feature enabled.

Note: Historically this represented whether the interface element used is visible or not. But for privacy reasons, this no longer represents the actual visibility of each interface element.

Examples

The following example prints true to the console if the window is not a popup.

js
console.log(window.locationbar.visible);
