Hide DOM Elements Dynamically
DOM elements can be done dynamically using JavaScript.
We can use the stykle.display property to do it.
For instance, we can write :
element.style.display = 'none';
It's the same as setting display: 'none'.
If we want to toggle them element back on, we can write:
element.style.display = 'block'
