$("#YourElementID").css("display","block");Edit: or as dave thieben points out in his comment below, you can do this as well:
$("#YourElementID").css({ display: "block" });There are multiple function to do this work that wrote in bottom based on priority.
.css()
Set one or more CSS properties for the set of matched elements.
$("div").css("display", "block")// Or add multiple CSS properties
$("div").css({ display: "block", color: "red", ...
}).show()
Display the matched elements and is roughly equivalent to calling .css("display", "block")
You can display element using .show() instead
$("div").show().attr()
Set one or more attributes for the set of matched elements.
If target element hasn't style attribute, you can use this method to add inline style to element.
$("div").attr("style", "display:block")// Or add multiple CSS properties
$("div").attr("style", "display:block; color:red")JavaScript
You can add specific CSS property to element using pure javascript, if you don't want to use jQuery.
var div = document.querySelector("div");
// One property
div.style.display = "block";
// Multiple properties
div.style.cssText = "display:block; color:red";
// Multiple properties
div.setAttribute("style", "display:block; color:red");Depending on the purpose of setting the display property, you might want to take a look at
$("#yourElementID").show()and
$("#yourElementID").hide()If you need to add multiple then you can do it like this:
$('#element').css({ 'margin-left': '5px', 'margin-bottom': '-4px', //... and so on
});As a good practice I would also put the property name between quotes to allow the dash since most styles have a dash in them. If it was 'display', then quotes are optional but if you have a dash, it will not work without the quotes. Anyways, to make it simple: always enclose them in quotes.
