Yes, I used a really simple case to explain the approach that I prefer. I am sure that there are more complex examples where the advantages to use that approach. If you want, could be useful have a link or an other example suggested by you. Thank you to have read my post, Maurizio Ciao Davide and thank you for your comment.

You are still showing and hiding an element, so using a class instead of working on the style attribute of the element doesn't make that much difference at all; Moreover, you are already doing a 'semantic' operation (hiding and showing an element); abstracting away the "implementation" of this operation (into a css class) could lend to make your code less meaningful (example ? you toggle a "visibility" class and then decide that your css implementatio just add/remove a border.. you end up with a semantic problem). Your example of why using a class is better than fiddling with the attribute is unfair: When you apply/remove the class you take advantage of jQuery "toggle" function, but when you show or hide the element you decide to play directly with the DOM, when you could simply call: $('myElement').toggle(); I generally agree with you, but in specific situations like this one (showing or hiding something) I personally see no problems in working with the style directly. Thanks anyway for your valuable opinion on that. Striving for a semantical approach to Javascript/CSS coding is always the best approach to Front End Development.
