Use this jQuery script.

XML

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
  $(#divID).click(function(){
    $(this).hide();
  });
  $(#divID).click(function(){
    $(this).show();
  });
});
</script>

One method is using the CSS visibility style 'collapse' or 'hidden', depending on the desired look:

JavaScript

div = document.getElementById('myDivId')
div.style.visibility="hidden" /* hide */
/*...*/
div.style.visibility="collapse" /* collapse */
/*...*/
div.style.visibility="visible" /* show again */

Another variant of the above:

JavaScript

function hide(object) { object.style.visibility = "hidden"; }
function show(object) { object.style.visibility = null; }

See visibility — CSS | MDN[^].

Another way is using the CSS display style 'none' or 'block':

JavaScript

div.style.display="none" /* hide */
/*...*/
div.style.display="block" /* show again */

See display — CSS | MDN[^].

In addition to all that, it's sometimes a good idea not to change styles directly, but predefine one or more CSS classes and remove or add classes from/to the HTML element, to achieve desired effect at once, or to combine several effects at once.

One approach is to modify class list: Element.classList — Web APIs | MDN[^].

Another approach is to modify the value if the class attribute, which represents the name of some CSS class: Element.setAttribute() — Web APIs | MDN[^].
