Definition and Usage

The hidden attribute is a boolean attribute.

When present, it specifies that an element is not yet, or is no longer, relevant.

Browsers should not display elements that have the hidden attribute specified.

The hidden attribute can also be used to keep a user from seeing an element until some other condition has been met (like selecting a checkbox, etc.). Then, a JavaScript could remove the hidden attribute, and make the element visible.


Differences Between HTML 4.01 and HTML5

The hidden attribute is new in HTML5.


Syntax

<element hidden="hidden">

Note: The hidden attribute is a boolean attribute, and can be set in the following ways:

  • <element hidden="hidden">
  • <element hidden="">
