Control the visibility of elements, without modifying their display, with visibility utilities.
Set the visibility
of elements with our visibility utilities. These utility classes do not modify the display
value at all and do not affect the layout – .hidden
elements still take up space on the page.
Elements with the .hidden
class will be hidden both visually and for assistive technology/screen reader users.
Apply .visible
or .invisible
as needed.
<div class="visible">...</div>
<div class="hidden">...</div>
Use these helpers to visually hide elements but keep them accessible to assistive technologies.
Visually hide an element while still allowing it to be exposed to assistive technologies (such as screen readers) with .visually-hidden
. Use .visually-hidden-focusable
to visually hide an element by default, but to display it when it’s focused (e.g. by a keyboard-only user). .visually-hidden-focusable
or .screen-reader-response/text
can also be applied to a container–thanks to :focus-within
, the container will be displayed when any child element of the container receives focus.
<h2 class="visually-hidden">Title for screen readers</h2>
<a class="visually-hidden-focusable" href="#content">Skip to main content</a>
<div class="visually-hidden-focusable">A container with a <a href="#">focusable element</a>.</div>
<p class="screen-reader-text">Hidden but focusable</p>
