1,460 PointsAdd/remove elements vs. show/hide for web accessibility
I was taught when learning how to use JavaScript to manipulate the DOM, that you should never add or remove elements unless absolutely necessary, that you should only show or hide them from the user's view, because adding and removing can cause problems (I don't remember why). However in the Web Accessibility Compliance course, it says that users should be able to understand and interact with your website even if Javascript and CSS are disabled in their browser settings. What then is the best way to show and hide elements while still adhering to web accessibility standards and writing good code?
