HTML-CSS: Offscreen

HTML-CSS : Exercise-39 with Solution

Using HTML, CSS hides an element completely (visually and positionally) in the DOM while still allowing it to be accessible.

  • Remove all borders and padding and hide the element's overflow.
  • Use clip to define that no part of the element is shown.
  • Make the height and width of the element 1px and negate them using margin: -1px.
  • Use position: absolute so that the element does not take up space in the DOM.
  • Note: This technique provides an accessible and layout-friendly alternative to display: none (not readable by screen readers) and visibility: hidden (takes up physical space in the DOM).

HTML-CSS: Tips of the Day

A min-height for table, tr or td:

It's not a nice solution but try it like this:

<table>
    <tr>
        <td>
            <div>Lorem</div>
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>
            <div>Ipsum</div>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

and set the divs to the min-height:

div {
    min-height: 300px;
}
