title: What does style "visibility:hidden" mean for the <html> element?
body: <p>What does the style <code>visibility:hidden</code> do when applied to the <code>html</code> element? Does it have anything to do with the scrollbars, esp. in regards to IE7?</p>
  
  <p>Background: Oracle Apex generates this code, and I'm trying to work out if it's causing an issue with an intermittently hidden horizontal scrollbar in IE7:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;style&gt; html {visibility:hidden;} &lt;/style&gt;
  </code></pre>
