The
displayCSS property is built into a lot more methods, e.g..show()and.hide()for starters (among many others, for example you can’t just call.slideDown()anymore to show the element). Aside from that, most browsers optimizedisplay: nonebetter, if any parent hasdisplay: none;it need not render the element, so it can speed up things quite a bit ignoring these elements.More important than all of the jQuery parts: stepping back a minute from both a CSS and JavaScript standpoint, why not use the property provided explicitly for this purpose? 🙂
