I am new to javascript and jquery.
I have written some javascript code for some client validation.

document.getElementById(spnError).style.display = 'block';

This is how I am showing a span if there is some validation issues in the form. I want to use Jquery to show this span. I would like to slide it down slowly.

    Since you’re using a variable for the ID, you need the #ID selector and .slideDown(), like this:

    $('#' + spnError).slideDown('slow');
    

    without the # if spnError is say "mySpanElement", it’s looking for that tag name, <mySpanElement>…to search by ID prepend a # to it 🙂

    You can read more about jQuery selectors here and view a complete list here.
