Hi Chetan,

Really easy with a little bit of jQuery.

$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".test").click(function(){
        $("#showme").show();
       $("#divsthatIwanttohide").hide();

    });

});

<a href="#" class="test">Say Hi</a>
<div id="showme">Howdy</div>

You can use the css property 'display:none;' to hide that div before the click or use jquery to hide it as soon as the document has loaded using the .hide() method.

Hope that helps.
