for ($i= 1; $i <=10 ;$i++)
{
$myresult .= "<span style='visibility: hidden;' id ='hide".$i."'>";
for ($k= 1; $k <=10 ;$k++)
{
$myresult .= "<input class='star' type='radio' name='rating".$i."' id='rating".$i."".$k."' value='". $k ."' $disabled  $chk  title='". $k." out of 10 '/>&nbsp;&nbsp;";
}
$myresult .= "</span>";
$myresult .= "<a href='#' id=\"rate-it\" onclick=\"javascript: $('#hide".$i."').show('slow');\">Rate It</a>";
}

i am trying to show a series of 10 radio buttons on click of a button... but the show thing is not coming !!!is there anything wrong with tht code ?

I think it's because show() works with elements hidden with display:none.
