How to Make Text Invisible on a Web Page

Last Updated: September 17, 2019

Making the text the same color as the background on a webpage, you can insert secret messages in so-called "invisible ink." Now you can use this on your webpage. Highlight the space in front of this sentence to reveal the hidden message.( This is what it will be like! )

Steps

1
Write the message in your web editor (or in the HTML code directly).
2
Insert the following code right before your secret message, replacing the word "white" with the background color of your webpage (e.g. "blue" or "black" or "red" etc.):
```
<span style="color: white; background:white;>
```

7
Set the color of the background

Send it to a friend! They'll then highlight it, & see your message. It's a perfect way to share secrets on e-mail or IM.

It's not possible to make stuff invisible on the web page directly, but you can do so by changing the CSS code of a web page to white. Check out the Inspect Element menu for more details.

This will obviously not work if the page background is not the same color as the secret text or if the background is an image.

Do not type like this all the time on Internet forums! People may find it annoying, and you may get banned if it annoys the admins.

This trick is probably inadvisable for communicating genuinely secret or sensitive information, as is very easy to intercept, even if one isn't even really looking for it.
