I tried opening the following code in both FF and chrome, nothing happened. But when I loaded the exact code in jsfiddle, it worked .

jsfiddle link

HTML: 

<!doctype html>

<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="fgerg.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.7.2.js"></script>


<script type="text/javascript">
                $(document).ready(function() {



                    $('#showButton').click(function() {
                        $('#x2').css('visibility','visible');


                    });     
                });​

            </script>   
</head>

<body>
 <input type="button" id="showButton" value="show" />
    <p id="x"> gergreg</p>
    <p id="x2"> sadeijnfciu </p>        
</body>
    </html>

CSS:

#x {
display:none;
 }

 #x2 {
visibility: hidden;
}

For anyone interested, the rectangle after the last }); caused the whole mess. Anyone know what is that ?

    The error: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL normally means you have some weird encoded character somewhere in your page/JavaScript source. Best bet is to either open the files up editor with it showing special characters, or to create a new file and copy in sections of the code.
