v2

We needed a hero to get these guys in line

jQuery rescues us by workingthe same in all browsers!

Easier to write jQuery than pure JavaScript

divs = document.getElementByTagName(‘div’);

for (i = 0; i < divs.length; i++) {divs[i].style.display = ‘none’;

}

Hide divs with pure JavaScript

divs = document.getElementByTagName(‘div’);

for (i = 0; i < divs.length; i++) {divs[i].style.display = ‘none’;

}

Hide divs with pure JavaScript

$(“div”).hide();
