<p><b>Note:</b> The element will not take up any space when the display property set to "none".</p>
<script>

if (x.style.display === "none") {
x.style.display = "block";
} else {
x.style.display = "none";
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
You need to make the following changes in your code. Add a display:none for #myDIV in css to hide it on initial loading. But if you still check in JS (x.style.display), you will get an empty string instead of none. That's beacause the style attribute does not have any setting for display until the code is run through the first time. So to handle this case you need to update your if condition as well like this - if (x.style.display == "none" || x.style.display === "")

I have attached a snippet. Hope that's how you want it to work.
function myFunction() {
var x = document.getElementById("myDIV");
if (x.style.display == "none" || x.style.display === "") {
x.style.display = "block";
} else {
x.style.display = "none";
}
}#myDIV {
width: 100%;
display: none;
padding: 50px 0;
text-align: center;
background-color: lightblue;
margin-top: 20px;
}<p>Click the "Try it" button to toggle between hiding and showing the DIV element:</p>
<button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>
<div id="myDIV">
This is my DIV element.
</div>
<p><b>Note:</b> The element will not take up any space when the display property set to "none".</p>Add display: none to the div css,
#myDIV {
width: 100%;
padding: 50px 0;
text-align: center;
background-color: lightblue;
margin-top: 20px;
display: none;
}
and change the if condition to this:
if (x.style.display == "none" || x.style.display === "")
I suggest do not update the style property directly, but toggle a class "hidden" instead. Here is a snippet:
function myFunction() {
const x = document.getElementById("myDIV");
x.classList.toggle("hidden");
}#myDIV {
width: 100%;
padding: 50px 0;
text-align: center;
background-color: lightblue;
margin-top: 20px;
}
.hidden {
display: none;
