The "none" in this case is actually a string, and (possibly) the contents of the display style parameter. Setting display to "none" makes the element disappear from the page display (but it still exists in the DOM).

To cancel this effect and make the element visible again, you can just set the display value to an empty string ("") or to some other valid setting (such as "block", for example), or by using the removeAttribute() method as shown in the video.
