Dan,

At the top of your HTML file, you can add something like this:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#myLink").toggle(function(){
$("#jQHide").hide("slow");
},function(){
$("#jQHide").show("slow");
});
});
</script>

This will attach a 'toggle' to a link which had an ID of 'myLink'.
Then, when you click the link, the Element with an ID if jQHide will
first be hidden, then be shown (the next time you click). It should
continue back and forth in this manner.

I whipped up a quick demo of this, in action - which can be found here:
http://jquery.com/test/toggle.html

I hope this helps!
