How to I hide and show HTML elements using JQuery without any special effects?
6 Answers
Using the hide() and show() methods:
$("selector").hide();
$("selector").show();
Where "selector" is whatever is appropriate. Like:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#mybutton").click(function() {
$("#mydiv").toggle();
});
});
</script>
<div id="mydiv">
This is some text
</div>
<input type="button" id="mybutton" value="Toggle Div">
The toggle() method just calls show() if hidden or hide() if its not.

$('#someElement').show(); //an element with id of someElement
$('.someElement').hide(); //hide elements with class of someElement
$('a').hide(); //hide all anchor elements on the page
See:

and
http://docs.jquery.com/Effects/hide
Also, would be a good idea to read up on Selectors:

$("selector").toggle() switches the selected DOM element(s) between hidden and shown. $("selector").hide() hides the selected DOM element(s). $("selector").show() shows the selected DOM element(s).
Truthfully though, I think you could've solved this problem without having to consult stackoverflow. The jquery docs are pretty clear imo!
see the jQuery online documentation for show, hide and toggle.
