Question

I have two divs div1 and div2. I want div2 to be automatically hidden but when i click on preview div then div2 to be made visible and div1 to hide. This is the code i tried but no luck 🙁

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("div2").hide();
  $("#preview").click(function() {
    $("#div1").hide();
    $("#div2").show();
  });
});
</script>

<div id="div1">
This is preview Div1. This is preview Div1.
</div>

<div id="div2">
This is preview Div2 to show after div 1 hides.
</div>

<div id="preview" style="color:#999999; font-size:14px">
PREVIEW
</div>

Make sure to watch your selectors. You appear to have forgotten the # for div2. Additionally, you can toggle the visibility of many elements at once with .toggle():

// Short-form of `document.ready`
$(function(){
    $("#div2").hide();
    $("#preview").on("click", function(){
        $("#div1, #div2").toggle();
    });
});
