Show/hide behavior is gray

There are no layers on that page. That would explain why you see none of
them in the Layers panel.

Just so you'll know, a 'layer' is an absolutely positioned page element.
You have none on your page. Probably that's why you can't select the
show/hide as well.

And by the way, you'd be well advised to give layers a complete 'bye' until
you have a better grasp of all the reasons why you WOULDN'T want to use
them! Here's one of the more important ones -
