Element Visibility

Simple toggle() case

function toggleBasic() {
$(".target1").toggle();
}

With specific duration

function toggleDuration() {
$(".target2").toggle("slow"); // A millisecond duration value is also acceptable
}

…and callback

function toggleCallback() {
$(".target3").toggle("slow",function(){alert('now do something');});
}

…or with easing and callback.

function toggleEasingAndCallback() {
// You may use jQueryUI as the core only supports linear and swing easings
$(".target4").toggle("slow","linear",function(){alert('now do something');});
}

…or with a variety of options.

function toggleWithOptions() {
$(".target5").toggle(
{ // See all possible options in: api.jquery.com/toggle/#toggle-options
duration:1000, // milliseconds
easing:"linear",
done:function(){
alert('now do something');
}
}
);
}

It’s also possible to use a slide as animation with slideToggle()

function toggleSlide() {
$(".target6").slideToggle(); // Animates from top to bottom, instead of top corner
}

…or fade in/out by changing opacity with fadeToggle()

function toggleFading() {
$( ".target7" ).fadeToggle("slow")
}

…or toggle a class with toggleClass()

function toggleClass() {
$(".target8").toggleClass('active');
}

A common case is to use toggle() in order to show one element while hiding the other (same class)

function toggleX() {
$(".targetX").toggle("slow");
}

All the above examples can be found here

$(element).hide() // sets display: none
$(element).show() // sets display to original value
$(element).toggle() // toggles between the two
$(element).is(':visible') // returns true or false
$('element:visible') // matches all elements that are visible
$('element:hidden') // matches all elements that are hidden
$('element').fadeIn(); // display the element
$('element').fadeOut(); // hide the element
$('element').fadeIn(1000); // display the element using timer
$('element').fadeOut(1000); // hide the element using timer
// display the element using timer and a callback function
$('element').fadeIn(1000, function(){
// code to execute
});
// hide the element using timer and a callback function
$('element').fadeOut(1000, function(){
// code to execute
});
