If the visibility
property of the style of an HTML element is set to hidden
, is it still clickable?
When the display
property is set to none
, the element is not even part of the DOM tree, so that is not a problem. But I was wondering if a hidden
element still responds to mouse events.
You can hide an element in CSS using the CSS properties display: none or visibility: hidden . display: none removes the entire element from the page and mat affect the layout of the page. visibility: hidden hides the element while keeping the space the same.
The opposite of visibility: hidden is visibility: visible .
display:none means that the tag in question will not appear on the page at all (although you can still interact with it through the dom). There will be no space allocated for it between the other tags. visibility:hidden means that unlike display:none, the tag is not visible, but space is allocated for it on the page.
The visibility CSS property shows or hides an element without changing the layout of a document.
With display: none
it is still part of the DOM. It just isn't rendered in the viewport.
As for clicks on elements with visibility: hidden
, the events are not fired.
jsFiddle.
$('div').click(function() { alert('Hello') });
div { width: 100%; height: 100%; visibility: hidden; }
<div>abc</div>
