To check if an element is hidden or not, jQuery :hidden selector can be used. .toggle() function is used to toggle the visibility of an element.

Syntax:

$(element).is(":hidden");

Example:

html




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
 
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>
        Jquery Hidden element Checking
    </title>
    <style>
        h1 {
            color: green;
        }
 
        table,
        th,
        td {
            border: 1px solid black;
        }
    </style>
    <script src=
    </script>
 
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $("button").click(function () {
                $("table").toggle("slow", function () {
                    if ($("table").is(":hidden")) {
 
                        alert(" Hidden Element.");
                    } else {
                        alert("Element Visible.");
                    }
                });
            });
        });
    </script>
</head>
 
<body>
    <center>
        <h1>Geeks for Geeks</h1>
        <button type="button">
            Click!
        </button>
        <br><br>
        <table style="width:60%">
            <tr>
                <th>Language Index</th>
                <th>Language Name</th>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>1</td>
                <td>C</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>2</td>
                <td>C++</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>3</td>

            </tr>
            <tr>
