You can also add speed to make the hiding or showing smoother:
$(selector).hide(speed, callback); $(selector).show(speed, callback);
speed – Optional. Defines the speed of the animation: Can be "slow", "fast", or a time in milliseconds (e.g., 1000)callback – Optional. A function to execute after the animation completes.Try it yourself
The toggle() method is used to switch between hiding and showing an element.
It's a shortcut that replaces writing both hide() and show() manually.
toggle() will hide it.toggle() will show it.Try it yourself
