Toggle between hiding and showing an element using JavaScript provides the feature of efficient space usage by allowing users to hide content sections they may not need to minimize distractions, leading to a cleaner and more organized layout.

Syntax

if (paragraph.style.display === 'none') 
{
  paragraph.style.display = "block";
}
else 
{
  paragraph.style.display = "none"
}

Using CSS Display Property

Make a card with the main heading, subheading, paragraph, and button. Give a specific style to all the elements. The JavaScript function togglelement() is called when the user clicks the button. It gets the div element with the id myparagraph. It checks the current display property using the if-else of the div. If the value is none, it changes it to block to make it visible. Refer to the CSS Display Property article for the detailed description.

It checks the current visibility style using “window.getComputedStyle” and toggles it, if hidden, it becomes visible, and vice versa. Refer to the visibility Article for the detailed description.
