Hi,
> $('#toto_contaner').children();
That only works, if all .toto elements are direct children of #toto_contaner
and there are no other elements in #toto_contaner.
In case only the second assumption does not hold, I guess
$('#toto_contaner > div.toto').hide() is the fastest solution.
If the first assumption does not hold, there are two possible cases. Maybe all
.toto elements are inside the #toto_contaner, but some of them are not direct
children. Then I guess $('#toto_contaner div.toto').hide() is be the best
solution.
If there is not reasonable #toto_contaner, then I'd expect
$('div.toto').hide() to usually be faster than calling >50 times
$('#toto'+n).hide(). Of course that depends on how many other Elements the
page contains. The more Elements the page has, the better it is to use IDs
instead of classes.

I see. Since I understood Jean Babtiste that he wants to hide all elements at
the same time, I did not think about that problem.
