# Hiding elements

We can use `display: none;` to hide elements, but that can cause problems for people with screen readers. If we want to hide an element visually, but have them available for assistive technologies, we can use a rule like this one:

```css
.visually-hidden {
  clip: rect(0 0 0 0);
  clip-path: inset(50%);
  height: 1px;
  overflow: hidden;
  position: absolute;
  white-space: nowrap;
  width: 1px;
}
```
