Display

The display style defines whether a widget is displayed or not.

Syntax

display: block | none;

Value	Description
`block` (default)	Display the widget as normal.
`none`	The widget is not displayed and space will no longer be reserved for it.

Note that the second widget is hidden by adding the "remove" class which sets the display style to none.
