Syntax:
$(selector).hide(speed,callback);
$(selector).show(speed,callback);
The optional speed parameter specifies the speed of the hiding/showing, and can take the following values: "slow", "fast", or milliseconds.
The optional callback parameter is a function to be executed after
the hide() or show() method completes (you will learn more about callback functions in a
later chapter).
The following example demonstrates the speed parameter with hide():
jQuery toggle()
You can also toggle between hiding and showing an element with the toggle() method.
Shown elements are hidden and hidden elements are shown:
Syntax:
$(selector).toggle(speed,callback);
The optional speed parameter can take the following values: "slow", "fast", or milliseconds.
The optional callback parameter is a function to be executed after
toggle() completes.
