.hide( effect [, options ] [, duration ] [, complete ] )Returns: jQuery

Description: Hide the matched elements, using custom effects.

  • .hide( effect [, options ] [, duration ] [, complete ] )

    • effect
      Type: String
      A string indicating which effect to use for the transition.
    • options
      Type: Object
      Effect-specific settings and easing.
    • duration (default: 400)
      Type: Number or String
      A string or number determining how long the animation will run.
    • complete
      Type: Function()
      A function to call once the animation is complete.

  • .hide( options )

    • options
      Type: Object
      All animation settings. The only required property is effect.
      • effect
        Type: String
        A string indicating which effect to use for the transition.
      • easing (default: "swing")
        Type: String
        A string indicating which easing function to use for the transition.
      • duration (default: 400)
        Type: Number or String
        A string or number determining how long the animation will run.
      • complete
        Type: Function()
        A function to call once the animation is complete.
      • queue (default: true)
        Type: Boolean or String
        A Boolean indicating whether to place the animation in the effects queue. If false, the animation will begin immediately. As of jQuery 1.7, the queue option can also accept a string, in which case the animation is added to the queue represented by that string.

This plugin extends jQuery's built-in .hide() method. If jQuery UI is not loaded, calling the .hide() method may not fail directly, as the method still exists. However, the expected behavior will not occur.

Example:

Hide a div using the drop effect.
