Check if jQuery is hidden true or false

Question

I have this

$('#div').attr("hidden", true);

I tried:

var a = $('#div').attr("hidden");
var b = $('#div').attr("hidden").val();
var c = $('#div').hidden;
var a = $('#div').disabled;

I just want to know if the hidden is true or false. somebody knows? my research results relate to shapes and materials.

I think you mean jquery visible

.is(':visible')

Alternatively, you can use

$('#div').toggle(showOrHide);

where showOrHide is bool true to false to hide or show.

This is the same thing to do

if ( showOrHide == true ) {
  $('#div').show();
} else if ( showOrHide == false ) {
  $('#div').hide();
}

Hope it helps

the attribute will never be true

, it can only have strings.
jQuery has functions data

for objects other than strings:

$('#div').data("hidden", true);      // set the "hidden" data
var flag = $('#div').data("hidden"); // get the "hidden" data (true)

If you want to hide div

, use .hide()

:

$('#div').hide();

And you check if the div is displayed with :visible

\:hidden

$('#div').is(':visible'); // Or $('#div').is(':hidden')
