Passing class and id

I believe you need to select #message and .removable in separate declarations.

if you can do both in the same one, you probably need to use two sets of ""

Thanks for the reply Jacob. I have tried both of the below and neither one works. I am struggling trying to figure out how to call both a class and an id.

<script type="text/javascript">$("#message" ".removable").hide().show('slow')</script> <script type="text/javascript">$("#message").$(".removable").hide().show('slow')</script>

I mean, I don't believe you can access both ids and classes in the same rule. Try: $("#message").hide().show('slow') $(".removable").hide().show('slow')

remeber that classes are "." and that id are "#" when I read your code I read it like this $("#message.removable").hide().show('slow') select (Id=messageClass=removeable") than hide them show slowly

i struggle to understand your intent but heres a few examples that might help $("#message").hide("slow") //select id message and hide them slowly $(".removeable").hide("slow") // select class removeable and hide them slowly

$(#message).click(function() // when I click a message id element it will hide itself slowly $(this).hide("slow") })

$(".removeable").click(function(){ // when I click a removeable class element it will hide itsself slowly $(this).hide("slow") })

if your trying to do them both it would look something like this I belive

$(document).ready(function(){ // when page is ready (startcode) $("#message").hide("slow") //select id message and hide them slowly $(".removeable").hide("slow") // select class removeable and hide them slowly }) // when page is ready (endcode)
