title: What's the difference between .show() and .css({'display':'block'})?
body: <p>I just got a script to work by changing</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#thisElement').show();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#thisElement').css({'display':'block'});
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>where <code>#thisElement</code> had been loaded as having <code>display:none;</code></p>
  
  <p>Is there a fundamental difference in these two expressions?</p>
