What is the difference between visibility:hidden and display:none?

Question

The CSS rules visibility:hidden and display:none both result in the element not being visible. Are these synonyms?

Answer 1

If visibility property set to "hidden", the browser will still take space on the page for the content even though it's invisible.
But when we set an object to "display:none", the browser does not allocate space on the page for its content.

Example:

Content not display on screen and even space not taken.



Content not display on screen but it will take space on screen.
