Quick Tip: “Invisible” text can still be announced
Content hidden with techniques like opacity: 0, off-screen positioning, or zero-height containers may still be read by assistive technologies. This is useful for accessible labels or hints—but dangerous if you accidentally duplicate information or leave outdated text in the DOM. Always verify what a screen reader announces, not just what you see.
