CSS Display (Display) and Visibility (Visibility)

The display property sets how an element should be displayed, and the visibility property specifies whether an element should be visible or hidden.

Hiding Elements - display:none or visibility:hidden

An element can be hidden by setting the display property to "none" or the visibility property to "hidden". However, note that these two methods produce different results.

visibility:hidden can hide an element, but the hidden element still takes up the same space as before it was hidden. This means that although the element is hidden, it still affects the layout.

Example

display:none can hide an element, and the hidden element does not take up any space. This means that not only is the element hidden, but the space it originally occupied also disappears from the page layout.

Example

CSS Display - Block and Inline Elements

A block element occupies the full width available, with line breaks before and after.

Examples of block elements:

Inline elements take up only the necessary width and do not force line breaks.

Examples of inline elements:

Note: Changing an element's display type affects how the element is displayed, and what type of element it is. For example, an inline element set to display:block is not allowed to have nested block elements inside it.
