Is display:none cheating?

March 4, 2010

in everything

So, I’ve been doing a lot of web design stuff lately and I have this thing that I do that feels like cheating.

Sometimes I can’t find that code that is inserting something onto the page, I look through plugins and themes and everything and I can’t find where this little snippet or that little image is coming from. So I figure out what the code is that surrounds it, I head into my CSS editor and I add a little bit of code:

display: none;

Guess, what it does! It makes it not show up on the page. It’s still there if you turn the CSS off or if you look at the code, but it doesn’t show up.

Two questions:

  1. Is it cheating?
  2. Does this provide some sort of deep insight on how I look at the world and edit my life accordingly but allow the things to still be there under the surface?
