Hide/show a element by id using JavaScript

In this tutorial, we are going to learn about how to hide/show a element by id using JavaScript.

Consider, we have a following html div element.

<div id="container">Hello</div>

To hide an element, first we need to access it inside the JavaScript using the document.getElementById() then set its style.display property to none.

Here is an example:

const element = document.getElementById("container");
element.style.display= "none";

To show an element back, we need to update the style.display property to block.

element.style.display = "block";

Using style.visibility property

We can hide an html element by id, set the element’s style.visibility property to hidden.

const element = document.getElementById("container");
element.style.visibility= "hidden";

To show an element back, we need to update the style.visibility property to visible.

element.style.visibility= "visible";

The main difference between style.display and style.visibility properties are:

  • When we set a style.display property to none, it removes the element completely from the dom .

  • When we set a style.display property to hidden, it just hides the element but doesn’t remove it in the dom.
