i have this code <textarea name=text cols=20 rows=10>how do i set this to be hidden

You could add style="display: none". As @thelost says, you could also do style="visibility: hidden". This will make the textarea still take up space on the page. You should really put this in a style sheet. That would mean adding class="hidden" to your textarea-tag and adding textarea.hidden { display: none; } to your css file

Answer 3

A:

You have a few options, here are some examples:

Display:none
Visibility:hidden

Here is some example code for you to see for yourself

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt;

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;
<head>
    <title>Text Area Hidden</title>
    <style type="text/css">
        .hideButTakeUpSpace
        {
            visibility: hidden;
        }

        .hideDontTakeUpSpace
        {
            display:none;
        }

    </style>

</head>
<body>
    <h1>Text area hidden examples</h1>
    <h2>Hide but take up space (notice the gap below)</h2>
    <textarea class="hideButTakeUpSpace" rows="2" cols="20"></textarea>

    <h2>Hide Don't take up space</h2>
    <textarea class="hideDontTakeUpSpace" rows="2" cols="20"></textarea>


</body>
</html>

Answer 4

+2 A:

Everyone is giving you answers, but not much on the reasons. Here you go: if you use the CSS rule visibility:hidden; the text area will be invisible, but it will still take up space. If you use the CSS rule display:none; the textarea will be hidden and it won't reserve space on the screen--no gaps, in other words, where it would have been. Here's a good visual example: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_display_visibility.asp

To put the style rule in your textarea, you want something like this:

<textarea cols="20" rows="20" style="display:none;">
