I will like to style the light dom's css using javascript from within the custom element's definition. Is it possible?

The premise is that I have a widget created using polymer, the content within the widget is declared in the light DOM. I like to be able to hide widget and the logic is scripted into the custom element itself.

Using this.children, we can access the elements within the light DOM of the instance of the custom element. It returns the elements as an array.

In my case, I wish to set the visibility of the elements within the light DOM to hidden when the widget is being minimized.

A for loop is used to set the visibility of all the elements within the light DOM

for(var i = 0;i<this.children.length;i++)
{
    $(this.children[i]).css("visibility",'hidden');
}
