The setVisible() method controls the visibility of an element. When an element's visibility is set to false, it will not exist in the HTML string when the render() method is called. However, it remains in the DOM structure and can still be queried, accessed, and manipulated, but it will not appear in the HTML output.

• true: The element is visible and will be rendered.
• false: The element will not be rendered, but remains part of the DOM and can still be manipulated.
