hide()

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

Syntax:

snippet

$(selector).hide();
$(selector).hide(speed, callback);
$(selector).hide(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 hide() effect.

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

<!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();
    });
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>
<b>This is a little poem: </b>
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
</p>
<button id="hide">Hide</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
