hidden

I have a div that I use to display alerts when needed.

If I want to close it after a while can I use display:none or should I use display:none as well as visibility:hidden?

So one or both.

Thank you.

Should I use display none or visibility hidden?

What is the difference between display:none and visibility:hidden style? visibility: hidden hides the element, but it still takes up space in the layout. display: none removes the element completely from the document.

Depends. If you need the space to be left blank, that is, the space won't be taken up by other elements below or around it, you'll need visibility: hidden. Otherwise, use display: none, which will allow other elements to move into the element's place.

There's no reason to use both.
