Algorithm
Selection
Set1
All the hidden text elements. Elements from the DOM with :
- a not empty text and
- a "display" css property equals to "none" or a "visibility" css property equals to "hidden", these properties can be inherited from a parent (see Note for more details about the selection)
Process
The selection handles the process.
For each element of Set1 raise a MessageA
Message 1: Hidden text detected
- code : HiddenTextDetected
- status: NMI
- parameter : snippet
- present in source : yes
Analysis
NA
Set1 is empty (the page has no textual hidden element)
NMI
Set1 is not empty (the page has textual hidden elements)
Notes
The visibility of each element of the page is determined while fetching the page, through a javascript script.
If the "display" css property is equal to "none" or the "visibility" css property is equal to "hidden" for an element or one of its parents, this element is seen as hidden.
