jQuery supports many types of effects, that make the development process easy and user-friendly. Hiding is one of such effects. The hide() method serves this purpose.
hide() method is used to hide the selected elements.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#hide").click(function(){
$("p").hide();
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>Click the button and I will disappear.</p>
<button id="hide">Hide</button>
</body>
</html>
hide() method can include some other parameters too. These parameters are used to make the effect more specific.
Syntax:
$(selector).toggle(speed, callback);
Speed:
- Speed is an optional parameter that specifies the speed of the delay in animation (hiding).
- It can accept string values: “slow”, “fast”, or milliseconds.
- The default speed is 400 milliseconds.
- On using the “slow” keyword as the value for the speed parameter, the compiler takes it as 600 milliseconds.
- Similarly, on using the “fast” keyword as the value for the speed parameter, the compiler takes it as 200 milliseconds.
Callback:
- Callback is also an optional parameter.
- Callback is the function to be executed once the hide() method’s execution is complete.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("button").click(function(){
$("p").hide("fast");
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button>Hide</button>
<p>This is a paragraph with little content.</p>
<p>This is another small paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
