Difference between jQuery .hide() and .css(“display”, “none”)

Question

Is there any difference between

jQuery(\'#id\').show() and jQuery(\'#id\').css(\"display\",\"block\")

and

jQuery(\'#id\').         


        

Answer 1

Yes there is a difference.

jQuery('#id').css("display","block") will always set the element you want to show as block.

jQuery('#id').show() will et is to what display type it initially was, display: inline for example.
