How to remove div completely in jQuery?

How do I show/hide any div element using jQuery or JavaScript when a different dropdown option is selected?

• I am working on a wordpress site.. There is a <select> options and two div tag (and inside div tag, there are some html contents with different links). What I am trying to do is, when someone choose Option A from the dropdown list, it will show first div element and when someone choose Option B from the dropdown list, it will hide first div and will show second div element.. How I can do it? Please suggest me.. For example: Dropdown List: <select>     <option >Red</option>     <option selected disabled="Disabled">Blue</option>     <option>Yellow</option>     <option disabled="Disabled">Orange</option>     <option>Green</option> </select> Div Tag: <div id="test1> .... some shortcodes of wordpress or html codes... </div> <div id="test2> .... some shortcodes of wordpress or html codes... </div> <div id="test3> .... some shortcodes of wordpress or html codes... </div> What I want is, by default, option red will be selected and first div test1 will be shown; but when someone choose option Yellow, it will hide div test1 and will show div test2 and when someone choose option Green, it will hide all and will show div test3.. and same, when someone will choose option Red, it will show div test1. Please help me out..

• Answer:

  Give the select an ID and the divs a class and add this code in the head of the page @http://jsfiddle.net/mplungjan/c7JLW/ $(function() { $("#sel1").on("change",function() { $(".hideable").hide(); var id = "#test"+(this.selectedIndex+1); $(id).show(); }).change(); });
