jQuery & CSS - Remove/Add display:none

Question

I have a div with this class :

.news{
  width:710px; 
  float:left;
  border-bottom:1px #000000 solid;
  font-weight:bold;
  display:none;
}

Answer 1

So, let me give you sample code:

Blah, blah, blah. I'm hidden.


Hide/Show News

The link will be the trigger to show the div when clicked. So your Javascript will be:

$('.trigger').click(function() {
   $('.news').toggle();
});

You're almost always better off letting jQuery handle the styling for hiding and showing elements.

Edit: I see people above are recommending using .show and .hide for this. .toggle allows you to do both with just one effect. So that's cool.
