I found this article that looked like exactly what I wanted, but I can’t seem to get it to work at all. Since it is well over a year old, I thought perhaps something may have changed, or that there might be a simpler way to do it by now.

That is to say, I cannot get the method I linked above to work. I copied and pasted exactly, and used <body onLoad="javascript_needed()"> because I wasn’t sure where $(document).ready(function ()... was supposed to go. I am, sadly, quite unfamiliar with Javascript.

    Use something like this;

    <script>

  $(document).ready(function(){
    //Code goes in here.
  });

</script>

    Don’t forget to load the jQuery library at the same time from http://jquery.com/

    Also, you are going to want to read up on selectors.

    Using $("#myElement") will select elements that have an id of “myElement”.

    Using $(".myElement") will select elements that have a class of “myElement”.

    So;

    <div class="hideMe">Content</div>
<div class="hideMe">Content</div>
<div class="hideMe">Content</div>
<div class="doNotHideMe">Content</div>

<input type="button" class="ClickMe" value="click me"/>

<script>

  $(function(){
    $(".ClickMe").click(function(){
      $(".hideMe").hide(250);
    });
  });

</script>

    edit

    If you want to link to the jquery library online then use;

    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    If you download the library and insert the js file into your project then use;

    <script src="/yourPathToTheLibrary/jquery-1.6.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
