Answer 1

var btn = document.querySelector('button');

btn.addEventListener('click', function(){
  var hint = document.getElementById('hint');
  if(hint.style.visibility == 'hidden'){
    hint.style.visibility = 'visible';
     hint.style.opacity = '1';
  }
  else{
    hint.style.visibility = 'hidden';
     hint.style.opacity = '0';
  }

});

div#hint{
  background: gold;
  color: orangered;
  padding: .5em;

  font-weight: bold;
  transition: visibility 1s, opacity 0.5s linear;
}

<div id='hint'>
  
  <p>This is some hint on how to be safe in this community </p>
   <p>This is another hint on how to be safe in this community </p>
  </div>

<button> show hint </button>

I think using visibility over display is better option

Without using css3 transition, you can use js setInterval to change some css property of the div, such as:

• Change opacity from 0 to 1

• Change height from 0 to full height

• Change width from 0 to full width

Initially, you should have display: none; opacity: 0; height: 0; width: 0'

Then you have to change display: none to display: block; before you use setInterval to change other properties.

(I guess you know how to hide the div)

You can also use setTimeout(), with a trick of recursive.

see my example below:

var btn = document.querySelector('button');
var hint = document.getElementById('hint');
var height = hint.clientHeight;
var width = hint.clientWidth;
console.log(width + 'x' + height);
// initialize them (within hint.style)
hint.style.height = height + 'px';
hint.style.width = width + 'px';

btn.addEventListener('click', function(){
  if(hint.style.visibility == 'hidden'){
    hint.style.visibility = 'visible';
    //hint.style.opacity = '1';
    hint.style.height = height + 'px';
    hint.style.width = width + 'px';
    hint.style.padding = '.5em';
  }
  else{
    hint.style.visibility = 'hidden';
    //hint.style.opacity = '0';
    hint.style.height = '0';
    hint.style.width = '0';
    hint.style.padding = '0';
  }

});

div#hint{
  background: gold;
  color: orangered;
  padding: .5em;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  overflow: hidden;

  font-weight: bold;
  transition: height 1s, width 1s, padding 1s, visibility 1s, opacity 0.5s ease-out;
}

<div id='hint'>
  
  <p>This is some hint on how to be safe in this community </p>
  <p>This is another hint on how to be safe in this community </p>
</div>

<button> show hint </button>

Hi I dont use display: block to display:none but changing the opacity, height and padding instead please review this one:

var btn = document.querySelector('button');

btn.addEventListener('click', function() {
  var hint = document.getElementById('hint');
  if (hint.classList.contains('h-hide')) {
    hint.classList.remove('h-hide');
  } else {
    hint.classList.add('h-hide');
  }
});

div#hint {
  display: block;
  background: gold;
  color: orangered;
  padding: .5em;
  font-weight: bold;
  transition: .5s all linear;
  opacity: 1;
  overflow: hidden;
  height: 100px;
}
#hint.h-hide {
  padding: 0;
  opacity: .25;
  height: 0;
}

<div id='hint'>

  <p>This is some hint on how to be safe in this community</p>
  <p>This is another hint on how to be safe in this community</p>
</div>

<button>show hint</button>

the drawback for this approach is we have to keep tract of the div#hint height and change it using javascript if needed.

Try something like this:

var btn = document.querySelector('button');

btn.addEventListener('click', function(){
  var hint = document.getElementById('hint');

  hint.classList.toggle("hide");
});

.hint{
  background: gold;
  color: orangered;
  padding: .5em;
  font-weight: bold;
  
  visibility: visible;
  opacity: 1;
  max-height: 500px;
  transition: visibility 0s, opacity 0.3s, max-height 0.6s linear;
}

.hide {
  visibility: hidden;
  opacity: 0;
  max-height: 0px;
  transition: max-height 0.3s, opacity 0.3s, visibility 0.3s linear;
}

<div id='hint' class="hint">
  
  <p>This is some hint on how to be safe in this community </p>
   <p>This is another hint on how to be safe in this community </p>
  </div>

<button> show hint </button>
