CSS visibility Property

Definition

The visibility property sets if an element should be visible or invisible.

Inherited: No

Tip: Even invisible elements takes up space on the page. Use the "display" property to create invisible elements that do not take up space.

CSS properties can also be dynamically changed with a JavaScript.

Scripting Syntax: object.style.visibility="hidden"

In our HTML DOM tutorial you can find more details about the visibility property.
