Courses Plus Student 15,815 PointsRobert: Where on the page are you calling the script? If you're calling it in the head, or high on the page, it may be looking for elements that don't exist yet. I wonder if moving it to the end of the body would help?

17,146 PointsHi Shawn, I have it in my footer currently to see if that was the issue too but still no joy.
As I say ive spent the best part of 8 hours trying to get this working and no matter how I do it I can not for the life of me get it to work.
It is only those elements though every other id and class work, I am a JS newbie and thought maybe it has something to do with the elements being generated by the PHP.
Completely stuck and out of ideas on how to fix it myself.
Just to add, by in the footer I mean right above the closing body tag.

Courses Plus Student 15,815 PointsStrange. Have you tried the .on() event handler instead of .click()? Might be worth a shot. Something like... ("#hide").on("click", function(){("#harry").toggle();});

Courses Plus Student 15,815 PointsNo problem. Glad you figured it out! I can't tell you how many hours I've wasted looking for extra semicolons...or mis-matched single/double quotes.
