html - jQuery hide and show toggle div with plus and minus icon

Question

I have the code working for the show and hide the div. How would I add two different icons as a sprite image for when the show and hide are active?

For example: + icon for show me, then a - icon for hide me.

Here is the code, I have: http://jsfiddle.net/BLkpG/

$(document).ready(function(){
   $(".slidingDiv").hide();
   $(".show_hide").show();

    $('.show_hide').click(function(){
    $(".slidingDiv").slideToggle();
  });
});

Need to change image to the above when toggled to a + or -.

Thanks

Try something like this

jQuery

$('#toggle_icon').toggle(function() {

    $('#toggle_icon').text('-');
    $('#toggle_text').slideToggle();

}, function() {

    $('#toggle_icon').text('+');
    $('#toggle_text').slideToggle();

});

HTML

<a href="#" id="toggle_icon">+</a>

<div id="toggle_text" style="display: none">
    Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s
</div>
