HTML hidden Attribute
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.
Applies to
The hidden
attribute is a Global Attribute, and can be used on any HTML element.
