Hiding an Element - display:none or visibility:hidden

Hiding an Element - display:none or visibility:hidden

Hiding an element can be done by setting the display property to "none" or the visibility property to "hidden". However, notice that these two methods produce different results:

visibility:hidden hides an element, but it will still take up the same space as before. The element will be hidden, but still affect the layout.

Example

h1.hidden {visibility:hidden;}

display:none hides an element, and it will not take up any space. The element will be hidden, and the page will be displayed as if the element is not there:

Example

h1.hidden {display:none;}
