How can I change CSS display none or block property using jQuery?

Solution 1:

The correct way to do this is to use show and hide:

$('#id').hide();
$('#id').show();

An alternate way is to use the jQuery css method:

$("#id").css("display", "none");
$("#id").css("display", "block");

Solution 2:

There are several ways to accomplish this, each with its own intended purpose.

1.) To use inline while simply assigning an element a list of things to do

$('#ele_id').css('display', 'block').animate(....
$('#ele_id').css('display', 'none').animate(....

2.) To use while setting multiple CSS properties

$('#ele_id').css({
    display: 'none'
    height: 100px,
    width: 100px
});
$('#ele_id').css({
    display: 'block'
    height: 100px,
    width: 100px
});

3.) To dynamically call on command

$('#ele_id').show();
$('#ele_id').hide();

4.) To dynamically toggle between block and none, if it's a div

• some elements are displayed as inline, inline-block, or table, depending on the Tag Name

$('#ele_id').toggle();
