Change Image/Class On Click with Jquery?

Question

Hi I'm currently practicing JQuery for my Javascript class. I've made the progress of a sloth but it feels good getting something to work. (Login form to slide down and change plus to minus) My problem seems to be with changing the minus class back to plus and not freaking out the form like it does right now. Can someone tell me whats wrong with my code? excuse the complete noob.

 //Fading in Advertisent $(document).ready(function() { $("#ad").animate({ top: '100px', }); //Closing The Advertisement $("#adbtn").click(function() { $("#ad").fadeOut(5000); }); $(".plus").click(function() { $("form").slideToggle(500); // half second duration $(".plus").removeClass("plus").addClass("minus"); }); // end function }); // end function $(document).ready(function() { $("#ad").animate({ top: '100px', }); //Closing The Advertisement $("#adbtn").click(function() { $("#ad").fadeOut(5000); }); $(".plus").click(function() { $("form").slideToggle(500); // half second duration $(".plus").removeClass("plus").addClass("minus"); }); // end function $(".minus").click(function() { $("form").slideUp(500); // half second duration $(".minus").removeClass("minus").toggleClass("plus"); }); // end function }); // end function

You can use toggleClass instead of removeClass and addClass . Also, you should change the .plus selector in the handle function to refer to the element (this).

$(".plus").click(function(){
      $("form").slideToggle(500);  // half second duration
      $(this).toggleClass("plus").toggleClass("minus");
}); // end function
