If you're loading the function last, wouldn't the warning message be shown until the Jquery function is ran to hide it?

Since the DOM is loading before the JS files, that warning message is going to show until the scripts are ran, right? So the warning class should be hidden by default I would imagine. Is that as simple as giving it a display:none as a default in the css?

Hi MICHAEL STEVENSON,

That's correct, however it will come down to how large your HTML document is overall as the larger it is, the longer it will take the browser to render it. If you have a fairly small document, something along the lines of 30Kbs with a small JavaScript file you shouldn't see the element in modern browsers (IE10+, Chrome etc.) as they have remarkable fast engines.

If you want to be on the safe side using CSS can be a much better option but depending on your accessibility requirements you will need to be careful as a property such as display with a value of none will cause the element to become invisible to screen readers.

Hope that helps.
