document.getElementById("elementId").style.display="none"

is used in JavaScript to hide an element. But in jQuery,

$("#elementId").hide();

is used for the same purpose. Which way is more efficient? I have seen a comparison between two jQuery function .hide() and .css("display","none") here.

But my problem is whether pure JavaScript is more efficient than jQuery?

    Talking about efficiency:

    document.getElementById( 'elemtId' ).style.display = 'none';

    What jQuery does with its .show() and .hide() methods is, that it remembers the last state of an element. That can come in handy sometimes, but since you asked about efficiency that doesn’t matter here.
