HTML 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <style>
        #div {
            display: none;
            background: green;
            height: 100px;
            width: 200px;
            color: white;
        }
    </style>

    <link rel="stylesheet" href=
"https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css">

    <script src=
"https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.0/jquery.min.js">
    </script>
</head>

<body>
    <h1 style="color:green;">

    </h1>

    <p id="GFG_UP"></p>

    <div id="div">
        This is Div box.
    </div>
    <br>

    <button onClick="GFG_Fun()">
        click here
    </button>
    <br>

    <p id="GFG_DOWN" style="color: green;"></p>

    <script>
        $('#GFG_UP').text(
            `Click on button to toggle 
                the DIV Box using Bootstrap.`);

        function show(divId) {
            $("#" + divId).show();
        }

        function GFG_Fun() {
            show('div');
            $('#GFG_DOWN').text("DIV Box is visible.");

  • Set display: none property of the div that needs to be displayed.
  • Use .toggle() method to display the Div. However, this method can be used to again hide the div.

html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <style>
        #div {
            display: none;
            background: green;
            height: 100px;
            width: 200px;
            color: white;
        }
    </style>

    <link rel="stylesheet" href=
"https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css">

    <script src=
"https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.0/jquery.min.js">
    </script>
</head>

<body>
    <h1 style="color:green;">
        GeeksforGeeks
    </h1>

    <p id="GFG_UP">
    </p>

    <div id="div">
        This is Div box.
    </div>
    <br>

    <button onClick="GFG_Fun()">
        click here
    </button>
    <br>

    <p id="GFG_DOWN" style="color: green;">
    </p>

    <script>
        $('#GFG_UP').text(
            `Click on button to toggle 
            the DIV Box using Bootstrap.`);

        function toggler(divId) {
            $("#" + divId).toggle();
        }

        function GFG_Fun() {
            toggler('div');
            $('#GFG_DOWN').text("DIV Box is toggling.");
        }
    </script>
</body>
