jQuery - show/hide won't change an element's state
<p>I have searched this site and googled a lot - the problem has happened to many, but none of the solutions worked for me.</p>

<p>I have problem with jQuery show/hide. It stubbornly refuses to hide a specific element on a page. jQuery works, the events fire, everything looks ok, typing <code>.hide()</code> returns the element along with correct inline <code>display</code> attribute, but the element stays intact.</p>

<p>Originally I set up my css to control the initial state of elements' state (to avoid visibility/display conundrum), but eventually I moved all into my js, so that jQuery is in charge of everything.</p>
