CSS Visibility

CSS visibility allows you to control whether an element is visible or hidden without affecting the layout of the page.

Visible

The visibility: visible; property is the default value, meaning the element is visible.

.visible-element {
    visibility: visible;
    background-color: lightgreen;
    padding: 10px;
    margin-bottom: 10px;
}

<div class="visible-element">This is a visible element.</div>

Hidden

The visibility: hidden; property hides the element, but it still takes up space in the layout.

.hidden-element {
    visibility: hidden;
    background-color: lightcoral;
    padding: 10px;
    margin-bottom: 10px;
}

<div class="hidden-element">This is a hidden element.</div>

Collapse

The visibility: collapse; property is used for table rows and columns. The element is hidden and the space it occupied is also removed.

.collapse-element {
    visibility: collapse;
    background-color: lightblue;
    padding: 10px;
    margin-bottom: 10px;
}

<div class="collapse-element">This is a collapsed element.</div>
