Question posted in 
I have already read some of the posts here on SO, but in my case I’m following all those things but still display:none does not hide the element. Here is the code
jQuery(function($) {
var socket = io.connect();
var $messageForm = $('#message-box');
var $messageBox = $('#message');
var $chat = $('#chat');
var $users = $('#users');
var $nickForm = $('#setNick');
var $nickError = $('#nickError');
var $nickBox = $('#nickname');
$('#message').keydown(function(event) {
if (event.keyCode == 13) {
$(this.form).submit()
return false;
}
});
$nickForm.submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
socket.emit('new user', $nickBox.val(), function(data) {
if (data) {
$('#nickWrap').hide();
console.log("Showing Content Wrap");
$('#contentWrap').show();
} else {
$nickError.html("That nickname is already taken , try something else");
}
});
$nickBox.val('');
});
socket.on('usernames', function(data) {
var html = '<ul>';
for (i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
html += '<li>' + data[i] + '</li>';
}
html = html + '</ul>';
$users.html(html);
});
$messageForm.submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
socket.emit('send message', $messageBox.val(), function(data) {
$chat.append("<span class='error'>" + data + "</span><br/>");
});
$messageBox.val('');
});
socket.on('new message', function(data) {
$chat.append("<span class='msg'><b>" + data.nick + " :</b>" + data.msg + "</span><br/>");
});
socket.on('whisper', function(data) {
$chat.append("<span class='whisper'><b>" + data.nick + " :</b>" + data.msg + "</span><br/>");
});
socket.on('private', function(data) {
$chat.append("<span class='whisper'><b>" + data.nick + " :</b>" + data.msg + "</span><br/>");
});
}); html {
background-color: #a79580 !important;
}
body {
padding-top: 20px;
font-size: 16px;
background: transparent;
}
#contentWrap {
display: none !important;
}
.whisper {
color: grey;
font-style: italic;
}
.error {
color: red;

Got it, I didn't wanted to show below two divs when the page loads.
and
So I just wrapped those two divs into one another div
Later on after checking some conditions I changes the visibility of chatWindow with
You may have something that trigger
when your page load and then apply the
$('#contentWrap').show();
