title: Hiding multiple elements of a specific class or ID using jquery
body: <p>I would like to know if its possible to hide all the HTML elements (divs in my case) with a specific class name or ID using jquery.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for the sympathy, I already know the hide() function but the problem is there are multiple divs which I want hidden but the my code only works on the first on or doesnt work at all. Below is my code</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(document).ready(
                              $(".list").hide();                                
                              function divToggle() 
                              { 
                                $(this).children("div.list").slideToggle("fast");
                              });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Please assist me in finding what I'm doing wrong. </p>
  
  <p>And Thanks for your patience</p>
