I was trying to do a modal dialog of sorts. When I click on the page body I show the semi-transparent overlay as well as the DIV that acts as the dialog. I attached an event handler to the dialog itself such that when I click on it the dialog and the overlay should be hidden via the "hide" method or via setting "display" to "none" with the "css" method. However, specifically setting "display" doesn't work. I can set other styles such as "background-color" just fine.

I saved the code I was testing with to http://jsfiddle.net/VpBED/. Thanks!
