Its
el.hidden = true;
in modern browsers
- nostrademons 13y agoI'm curious - is this spec'd anywhere? I just tried it in Chrome and it works great, but I couldn't find it in any of the specs for Element or Node.

" it is incorrect to use hidden to hide panels in a tabbed dialog, because the tabbed interface is merely a kind of overflow presentation — one could equally well just show all the form controls in one big page with a scrollbar"
- talmand 13y agoAccording to specs mentioned elsewhere, it seems to have reasons to exist other than just display hide/show purposes. It's easily overridden by CSS. el.style.display = 'none' pretty much works everywhere. To me, it seems to depend upon what the purpose of hiding/showing the element is in specific cases.
