Courses Plus Student 19,602 PointsChallenge with Jquery
Hi Classmates,
Here is a Jquery challenge that i'm not getting correct:
"In the second script tag, write the jQuery code to hide the div with the id "message" and then show it slowly by passing in the string "slow"."
And here are my efforts:
$("div #message").hide().prev().show("slow");
or
$("div #message").hide(); $("div #message").show("slow");
I don't know why its incorrect. Please assist.
Thank you in advance.

Then you should be correct on your first attempt, but you do not need the .prev() method, as you want the div to show, not the element prior to it. (The second would work too but is not very DRY :D)

$("div#message")
for some reason, even though it works in the preview.
But then I used:
$("#message").
and it passed.
