According to JQuery documentation .show() "is roughly equivalent to calling .css('display', 'block'), except that the display property is restored to whatever it was initially." Set the style explicitly instead. You could use a CSS class

.hidden{
    visibility: hidden;
}
.shown{
    visibility: visible;
}

and set is using

$("#yourdiv").removeClass("hidden").addClass("shown");
