If you prefer to go with plain JavaScript without relying on a framework like JQuery, the following code snippet demonstrates how you can achieve this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
</head>
<body>
<table border="1" id="control">
<tbody>
<tr><td>row1</td></tr>
<tr><td>row2</td></tr>
<tr><td>row3</td></tr>
<tr><td>row4</td></tr>
<tr><td>row5</td></tr>
<tr><td>row6</td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<script type="text/javascript">
var tableElm = document.getElementById("control");
var tableChilds = tableElm.getElementsByTagName("tr");
var row3 = tableChilds[2];
row3.style.display = "none";
// alternatively:
//row3.style.visibility = "hidden";
</script>
</body>
</html>
