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

Question

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

Answer 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");

Answer 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();

Answer 3

If the display of the div is block by default, you can just use .show() and .hide(), or even simpler, .toggle() to toggle between visibility.

Answer 4

For hide:

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

For show:

$("#id").css("display", "");

Answer 5

Other way to do it using jQuery CSS method:

$("#id").css({display: "none"});
$("#id").css({display: "block"});

Answer 6

Simple way:

function displayChange(){
$(content_id).click(function(){
  $(elem_id).toggle();}

)}

Answer 7

In case you want to hide and show an element, depending on whether it is already visible or not, you can use toggle instead of .hide() and .show()

$('elem').toggle();

Answer 8

(function($){
    $.fn.displayChange = function(fn){
        $this = $(this);
        var state = {};
        state.old = $this.css('display');
        var intervalID = setInterval(function(){
            if( $this.css('display') != state.old ){
                state.change = $this.css('display');
                fn(state);
                state.old = $this.css('display');
            }
        }, 100);        
    }

    $(function(){
        var tag = $('#content');
        tag.displayChange(function(obj){
            console.log(obj);
        });  
    })   
})(jQuery);

Answer 9

.hide() does not work in Chrome for me.

This works for hiding:

var pctDOM = jQuery("#vr-preview-progress-content")[0];
pctDOM.hidden = true;

Answer 10

In javascript:

document.getElementById("myDIV").style.display = "none";

and in jquery:

$("#myDIV").css({display: "none"});
$("#myDIV").css({display: "block"});

---

and you can use:

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

Answer 11

In my case I was doing show / hide elements of a form according to whether an input element was empty or not, so that when hiding the elements the element following the hidden ones was repositioned occupying its space it was necessary to do a float: left of the element of such an element. Even using a plugin as dependsOn it was necessary to use float.

Answer 12

Use this:

$("#id").(":display").val("block");

Or:

$("#id").(":display").val("none");

Answer 13

Use:

$(#id/.class).show()
$(#id/.class).hide()

This one is the best way.

Answer 14

you can do it by button

<button onclick"document.getElementById('elementid').style.display = 'none or block';">
