Here is a quick edit of Enve's answer. I do like roXor's solution, but background images are not necessary. And everbody seems to forgot a preventDefault
as well.
$(document).ready(function() {_x000D_
$(".slidingDiv").hide();_x000D_
_x000D_
$('.show_hide').click(function(e) {_x000D_
$(".slidingDiv").slideToggle("fast");_x000D_
var val = $(this).text() == "-" ? "+" : "-";_x000D_
$(this).hide().text(val).fadeIn("fast");_x000D_
e.preventDefault();_x000D_
});_x000D_
});
