3,045 PointsI was following the teacher's activity in my workspace and none of them worked for me like in the video.Version?
1. const box = document.querySelector(".box"); box.style.display = "none";
The box disappeared in about a second later
2. $('.box).hide();
The box remained there. No change on the site.

For #1 I don't think JavaScript can hide anything until the entire page loads. That's why you see the box flash before it disappears.
For #2 it just looks like you didn't close the single quotes around the box class. A simple typo that we all make.

The workspace provide a way to create code for your browser, but changes made there will not be visible on their own. You can only see the results of code changes by first saving the file and then refreshing your browser.
