You have lots of options.  The simplest is probably to use "display:
none" or "visibility: hidden".  See [1] for the difference -- it's not
clear which you mean.  Other ways to hide elements (such as positioning
them outside of the viewport) have too many problems to be worth
recommending.

To change the view you can switch the property directly on the elements
(or on a container element), or you can use classes.

Remember to consider the impact on accessibility if this is going to be
used by others.
