How do you hide a DOM element using plain JavaScript?
Every element exposes a style
property which you can use to alter the CSS styling properties.
You can set the display
property to ‘none’ (like you would do in CSS, display: none;
):
element.style.display = 'none'
To display it again, set it back to block
or inline
:
element.style.display = 'block'
