[jQuery] FadeIn Issues -- Blocks?

[jQuery] FadeIn Issues -- Blocks?


I was looking at the code trying to understand why extra space is added after using FadeIn/Out, and also why setting properties of "visibility" after using fadeIn/Out doesn't work. The code is a little tough to follow, but it seems that the hide/show functions set the display property to block. According to http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_class_display.asp this *adds* a newline element.
Question: why do show/hide set the display attribute? Why not use "visibility"?
