In this article, we will see the methods to hide the table header using JavaScript. There are two approaches that can help to hide a table header with the help of JavaScript.
They are discussed below:
- Using style and display property
- Using jQuery hide Method
Approach 1: Select the header using a CSS selector and modify the style property such that the value of the display property is set to none. This will hide the selected table header element from the page.
Example: This example shows the use of the above-explained approach.
