You want to use the toggle method, which takes two functions as arguments.
Example:
$("#link").toggle(
function() { $("#div").css("color","red"); },
function() { $("#div").css("color","blue"); }
);

This is probably one of those asked-and-answered questions, but I

next click slide it back up. Toggle with an effect. Because I am not
triggering the effect off a click on the element whose visibility I
want to toggle, the Event.Toggle method doesn't seem to fit. Here's
the point I've reached, which doesn't quite work. I'm sure there is a
really easy way to do this but I'm not seeing it.
$('a#image').click(function(){
$('#image-drawer')
.filter(':hidden')
.slideDown()
.end()
.filter(':visible')
.slideUp()
;
return false;
});

Hi S,
In your code, it looks like you're first sliding the #image-drawer
element down, and then sliding it back up. I think a
simple .slideToggle() would work fine in this situation:
$('#image').click(function() {
$('#image-drawer').slideToggle();
});
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the quick reply, Karl. That is, indeed what was happening,
and a slideToggle(); does solve the problem. So for me, the remaining
question is: Say I wanted something nonstandard -- say a color or font
size change -- to happen on click, and then on the next click have the
element revert. I'm trying to get a sense of the idiom involved with
getting jQuery to make a click toggle a binary state on another element.
Thx,
