Designing a website using HTML is not enough. User experience is the most important criteria when building a website and it will become successful only if it gained many viewers. You need to grab more clients and make your site more interactive and attractive. To achieve it, web designer needs to apply Bootstrap, CSS style sheets, etc. But they are just not enough because we have jQuery that provides different animations to make a website more approachable, attractive, rich, and unique.

Features of jQuery:

1. jQuery hide/show:

• This is a new animation in jQuery; the text can be seen or hidden by using click events or mouse hovers, etc. To perform these functions, attributes such as show() and hide() are used.

• For similar functionality, you have a method called toggle() which helps you toggle between the hide and show properties. In detail, the text is hidden if hide button is clicked and text is shown if you click on show button. It can also be done by mouse hovers. A simple line of codes is needed to implement these functions. View the effect in this image:
