JavaScript hide/show element

Question

How could I hide the \'Edit\'-link after I press it? and also can I hide the \"lorem ipsum\" text when I press edit?

Answer 1

Just create hide and show methods yourself for all elements, as follows

Element.prototype.hide = function() {
    this.style.display = 'none';
}
Element.prototype.show = function() {
    this.style.display = '';
}

After this you can use the methods with the usual element identifiers like in these examples:

document.getElementByTagName('div')[3].hide();
document.getElementById('thing').show();

or:
