show()

The jQuery show() method is used to show the selected elements.

Syntax:

snippet

$(selector).show();
$(selector).show(speed, callback);
$(selector).show(speed, easing, callback);

speed: It is an optional parameter. It specifies the speed of the delay. Its possible vales are slow, fast and milliseconds.

easing: It specifies the easing function to be used for transition.

callback: It is also an optional parameter. It specifies the function to be called after completion of show() effect.

Let's take an example to see the jQuery show effect.

snippet

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
        $("#hide").click(function(){
        $("p").hide();
    });
    $("#show").click(function(){
        $("p").show();
    });
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>
<b>This is a little poem: </b><br/>
Twinkle, twinkle, little star<br/>
How I wonder what you are<br/>
Up above the world so high<br/>
Like a diamond in the sky<br/>
Twinkle, twinkle little star<br/>
How I wonder what you are
</p>
<button id="hide">Hide</button>
<button id="show">Show</button>
</body>
</html>

Output:

This is a little poem:
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are

jQuery show() effect with speed parameter

Let's see the example of jQuery show effect with 1500 milliseconds speed.

snippet

$(document).ready(function(){
        $("#hide").click(function(){
        $("p").hide(1000);
    });
    $("#show").click(function(){
        $("p").show(1500);
    });
});
