Do changes to hidden elements cause a reflow? JS

I have a hidden form element, and it has an input tag with an attribute of 'value'.

Will reading the value of 'value' (using getElementById) cause a reflow? Will changing the value of 'value' (using getElementById & setAttribute) while the element is hidden cause a reflow?

I know different browsers behave differently but was just looking for some input on this subject. I have also set 'display' to 'none' - will this effect the behaviour of the questions above?

Thanks in advance for any help!

No, reading or writing the value attribute will not cause reflow. See this question and its accepted answer: When does reflow happen in a DOM environment? for more details.
