toggle show/hide div with button?

Question

Hopefully this is an easy question. I have a div that I want to toggle hidden/shown with a button

Answer 1

Look at jQuery Toggle

HTML:

<div id='content'>Hello World</div>
<input type='button' id='hideshow' value='hide/show'>

jQuery:

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
    jQuery('#hideshow').live('click', function(event) {        
         jQuery('#content').toggle('show');
    });
});

For versions of jQuery 1.7 and newer use

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
    jQuery('#hideshow').on('click', function(event) {        
        jQuery('#content').toggle('show');
    });
});

For reference, kindly check this demo

Answer 2

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#hideshow').click(function(){
    $('#content').toggle('show');
  });
});
</script>

And the html

<div id='content'>Hello World</div>
<input type='button' id='hideshow' value='hide/show'>
