Answer 1

So you want to distinguish between display: block and display: none ? If so, you can better use the is() function in combination with the :visible selector for this:

if ($('#toshow').is(':visible')) {

} else {

}

This works regardless of if you used display: block, or display: inline, or display: inline-block.
