How to hide elements with jQuery before they get rendered?

Question

I want to generate html layout with areas (divs, spans) that can be shown/hidden conditionally. These areas are hidden by default.

If I call .hide() method with jque

Answer 1

Why not do just this?:

// Hide HTML element ASAP
$('html').hide();

// DOM-ready function
$(function () {
   // Do stuff with the DOM, if needed
   // ...

   // Show HTML element
   $('html').show();
}

It seems to work fine!

Regards.
