I want to have a hidden checkbox that doesn't take up any space on the screen.
If I have this:
<div id="divCheckbox" style="visibility: hidden">
I don't see the checkbox, but it still creates a new line.
If I have this:
<div id="divCheckbox" style="visibility: hidden; display:inline;">
it no longer creates a new line, but it takes up horizontal space on the screen.
Is there a way to have a hidden div that takes up no room (vertical or horizontal?
The visibility: hidden rule, on the other hand, hides an element, but the element will still take up space on the web page. If you want to hide an element but keep that element's space on the web page, using the visibility: hidden; rule is best.
We hide the divs by adding a CSS class called hidden to the outer div called . text_container . This will trigger CSS to hide the inner div.
The hidden attribute is a Global Attribute, and can be used on any HTML element.
The hidden attribute hides the <div> element. You can specify either 'hidden' (without value) or 'hidden="hidden"'. Both are valid. A hidden <div> element is not visible, but it maintains its position on the page.
Use display:none;
<div id="divCheckbox" style="display: none;">
visibility: hidden
hides the element, but it still takes up space in the layout.
display: none
removes the element completely from the document, it doesn't take up any space.
