# up.element.hide(element)

Hides the given element.

Also see [`up.element.show()`](https://unpoly.com/api/up.element.show.md) and [`up.element.toggle()`](https://unpoly.com/api/up.element.toggle.md).

## Implementation {#implementation}

The element is hidden by setting an [`[hidden]`](https://unpoly.com/api/hidden.md) attribute. This effectively gives the element a `display: none` rule.

To customize the CSS rule for hiding, see [`[hidden]`](https://unpoly.com/api/hidden.md).
