Hi there, so... the error in your script has nothing to do with your css file.

That is not how you set up a function. There are different ways to set up a function in js.
1.
Code: 
var func1 = function (){
    //do stuffs here
}

//calling your variable function
func1();

2.
Code: 
function func1(){
    //stuffs here
}

//calling your function
func1();

3.
Code: 
(function() {
    //do stuffs here
})();

As often, F12 and a quick peek at the console would have revealed that error instantly. It keeps puzzling me why so many people don't do that 🤔 The console really is the JS programmer's best friend.

Yes of course an error is showing up. Have you clicked on the link next to the error ? And have you read and understood Antero360's reply ?
If you still cannot make sense of the error after that, you need to go and learn some JavaScript basics, such as how to declare a function.

Debugger and console are your friends !
As to your show and hide functions: you would typically set visibility:hidden for a component that must be hidden (see https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_class_visibility.asp), rather than setting an off-screen position.
