how to toggle in between 2 classes in jquery?

Question

i have an issue doing toggleClass it doesn't seem to work properly. the image should change in between show and hide. It does change in to hide, but no back

here is my example and some code:

<div class="top_menu_hidden" style="display: none; ">testing</div>
<div class="show_menu"></div>

$('.show_menu').on('click', function(){
        $('.top_menu_hidden').stop().slideToggle('normal', function(){
            $(".show_menu").toggleClass("hide_menu show_menu");
        });
});

.show_menu{
    background: url("http://placehold.it/150&text=show") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    height: 150px;
    width: 150px;
}
.hide_menu{
    background: url("http://placehold.it/150&text=hide") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    height: 150px;
    width: 150px;
}

any ideas?

thanks

Will you stop copy answers??? If you think yours is better, write it, if don't don't. Don't write your's than copy the rest from the other answers! It's the third time I'm telling you that. – gdoron Jun 20 '12 at 16:39
@gdoron Am I missing something? I don't see a smiliarity between this post and yours. – Dutchie432 Jun 20 '12 at 16:55

There is a toggle function that does it for you out of the box:

$(".show_menu").toggle();

toggle docs:

Description: Display or hide the matched elements.

Good point. This, of course, only applies if the classes dictate visibility ONLY. – Dutchie432 Jun 20 '12 at 16:38
@Dutchie432. Of course thecodeparadox copied it... He does it all the time! – gdoron Jun 20 '12 at 16:39
@Dutchie432. You have more than 10K so you can [see this](http://stackoverflow.com/a/11048059/601179). This is only one example. – gdoron Jun 20 '12 at 22:07
