How to always hide a div when the submit button is first clicked?

What do you mean by permanently? Should it say hidden even after the user refreshes the page?

Because if so you need some state storage. You can look at using localStorage.


I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').
