Hiding an element visually while keeping it accessible for screen readers and assistive technologies involves using CSS techniques. This ensures that the content remains available to users who rely on non-visual interfaces.
Using visibility: hidden;
The element becomes invisible, but it still occupies space in the layout.
Syntax:
/* Hiding an element visually but keeping it accessible */ .hidden-element { visibility: hidden; }
Using opacity: 0;
The element becomes fully transparent, but it still occupies space in the layout.
Syntax:
/* Making an element transparent to hide it visually */ .hidden-element { opacity: 0; }
Using position: absolute;
The element is positioned far off-screen, making it visually hidden but still accessible.
Syntax:
/* Moving an element off-screen to hide it visually */ .hidden-element { position: absolute; left: -9999px; }
