Using CSS to hide

    Hello friends,

    I have used CSS in one my websites to hide the content but when the visitor takes the mouse pointer to that area (where the content is hidden), the content becomes visible and when the pointer is taken away the content again gets out of sight. Is it okay to use this method or it amounts to black hat?

    Thanks & Regards
    Shailendra

    You are supposed to say display:none for hiding it and onmouse over to that div/span you set display to inline. I hope this helps.

    AS long as content is visible to the user it is not black hat. Several sites do it and several tab controls and accordion controls use similar logic
