Just Simple Set the style attribute of ID:

To Show the hidden div

<div id="xyz" style="display:none">
     ...............
</div>
//In JavaScript

document.getElementById('xyz').style.display ='block';  // to hide

To hide the shown div

<div id="xyz">
     ...............
</div>
//In JavaScript

document.getElementById('xyz').style.display ='none';  // to display

How to show or hide an element   In order to show or hide an element  manipulate the element s style property  In most cases  you probably just want to change the element s display property   element style display    none                Hide element style display    block               Show element style display    inline              Show element style display    inline-block        Show   Alternatively  if you would still like the element to occupy space  like if you were to hide a table cell   you could change the element s visibility property instead   element style visibility    hidden           Hide element style visibility    visible          Show   Hiding a collection of elements   If you want to hide a collection of elements  just iterate over each element and change the element s display to none   function hide  elements      elements   elements length   elements    elements     for  var index   0  index  lt  elements length  index          elements index  style display    none                Usage  hide document querySelectorAll   target     hide document querySelector   target     hide document getElementById  target        x000D   x000D  hide document querySelectorAll   target     x000D   x000D  function hide  elements    x000D    elements   elements length   elements    elements   x000D    for  var index   0  index  lt  elements length  index      x000D      elements index  style display    none   x000D      x000D    x000D   lt div class  target  gt This div will be hidden  lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   lt span class  target  gt This span will be hidden as well  lt  span gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    Showing a collection of elements   Most of the time  you will probably just be toggling between display  none and display  block  which means that the following may be sufficient when showing a collection of elements   You can optionally specify the desired display as the second argument if you don t want it to default to block   function show  elements  specifiedDisplay      elements   elements length   elements    elements     for  var index   0  index  lt  elements length  index          elements index  style display   specifiedDisplay     block                Usage  var elements   document querySelectorAll   target    show elements    show elements   inline-block       The second param allows you to specify a display value    x000D   x000D  var elements   document querySelectorAll   target    x000D   x000D  show elements   inline-block       The second param allows you to specify a display value x000D   x000D  show document getElementById  hidden-input     x000D   x000D  function show  elements  specifiedDisplay    x000D    elements   elements length   elements    elements   x000D    for  var index   0  index  lt  elements length  index      x000D      elements index  style display   specifiedDisplay     block   x000D      x000D    x000D   lt div class  target  style  display  none  gt This hidden div should have a display of  inline-block  when it is shown  lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   lt span gt Inline span   lt  span gt  x000D   x000D   lt input id  hidden-input    gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    Alternatively  a better approach for showing the element s  would be to merely remove the inline display styling in order to revert it back to its initial state  Then check the computed display style of the element in order to determine whether it is being hidden by a cascaded rule  If so  then show the element   function show  elements  specifiedDisplay      var computedDisplay  element  index     elements   elements length   elements    elements     for  index   0  index  lt  elements length  index          element   elements index           Remove the element s inline display styling     element style display           computedDisplay   window getComputedStyle element  null  getPropertyValue  display         if  computedDisplay      none             element style display   specifiedDisplay     block                  x000D   x000D  show document querySelectorAll   target     x000D   x000D  function show  elements  specifiedDisplay    x000D    var computedDisplay  element  index  x000D   x000D    elements   elements length   elements    elements   x000D    for  index   0  index  lt  elements length  index      x000D      element   elements index   x000D   x000D         Remove the element s inline display styling x000D      element style display       x000D      computedDisplay   window getComputedStyle element  null  getPropertyValue  display    x000D   x000D      if  computedDisplay      none     x000D          element style display   specifiedDisplay     block   x000D        x000D      x000D    x000D   lt span class  target  style  display  none  gt Should revert back to being inline  lt  span gt  x000D   x000D   lt span class  target  style  display  none  gt Inline as well  lt  span gt  x000D   x000D   lt div class  target  style  display  none  gt Should revert back to being block level  lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   lt span class  target  style  display  none  gt Should revert back to being inline  lt  span gt  x000D   x000D   x000D     If you want to take it a step further  you could even mimic what jQuery does and determine the element s default browser styling by appending the element to a blank iframe  without a conflicting stylesheet  and then retrieve the computed styling  In doing so  you will know the true initial display property value of the element and you won t have to hardcode a value in order to get the desired results    Toggling the display   Similarly  if you would like to toggle the display of an element or collection of elements  you could simply iterate over each element and determine whether it is visible by checking the computed value of the display property  If it s visible  set the display to none  otherwise remove the inline display styling  and if it s still hidden  set the display to the specified value or the hardcoded default  block   function toggle  elements  specifiedDisplay      var element  index     elements   elements length   elements    elements     for  index   0  index  lt  elements length  index          element   elements index        if  isElementHidden element           element style display                 If the element is still hidden after removing the inline display       if  isElementHidden element             element style display   specifiedDisplay     block                 else         element style display    none               function isElementHidden  element        return window getComputedStyle element  null  getPropertyValue  display        none                Usage  document getElementById  toggle-button   addEventListener  click   function        toggle document querySelectorAll   target            x000D   x000D  document getElementById  toggle-button   addEventListener  click   function      x000D      toggle document
