Thread: How to make images and text invisible in HTML/CSS

Hello guys does anybody know how to make images and text invisible in HTML/CSS. I want the image or text to load up but I do not want them to be visible. Any special attibutes?

Have you tried style="visibility:hidden; in the <img> tag? So something like <img src="http://www.someplaceinagalaxyfarfaraway.com" style="visibility:hidden;">

Thanks man, I will try it. I did some Google search and they were also showing this. And what about text?

Text can be done the same way with a div tag.

.hide { display: none; }

or

.hide { visibility: hidden; }
And just wrap it around the text you want to hide

Thanks man, It seems I really need to learn HTML now

Google would still crawl and even index content hidden by CSS. If you aim to completely hide the source code of specific content from google then it's called cloaking.

No I just do not want to show those linkback images from the blog directories, top sites etc... Just want to hide it from the visitors view and also so that my theme does not look dirty

I see, in that case the best method has been explained by Aussie above

Thanks even though Aziz, and thanks to all other members for helping me out

would it be easier to wrap a div around all of them and then hide that div using something like

<div style:visibility="hidden"></div>

or even with javascript

Seems if something like that would work then it would be less work
