Question

I am looking for a way to change the back ground image on toggle as in this questions here:

jQuery – Toggle Image Expand/Close

My issue is I have this html:

<button id="close-menu"></button>
<div id="menu-bar">
<div class="wrapper">
    <a href="http://www.website.com" target="_blank">
        <img src="image.png" alt="">
    </a>
    <div class="options">
        <h2>eBlast Tools</h2>
        <ul>
            <li class="toggle-images">Images are <span>enabled</span>. Click to disable.</li>
            <li class="download-zip"><a href="download.zip">Download ZIP File</a></li>
        </ul>
    </div>
</div>
</div>

and this is my current jquery:

$('#close-menu').click(function() {
    $('#menu-bar').slideToggle(400);
    return false;
});

and this is the css:

#close-menu {
background: url(../img/minus-button.png);
background-position: top left;
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
position: absolute;
top: 10px;
right: 20px;
z-index: 100;
border: none;
}

#close-menu:hover {
background: url(../img/minus-button.png);
background-position: bottom left;
}

Assuming you want the background of close-menu to change – try something like this:

$('#close-menu').click(function() {
    $('#menu-bar').slideToggle(400, function(){
        if($(this).is(':visible')){
            $('#close-menu').css('background-position','bottom left');
        } else {
            $('#close-menu').css('background-position','top left');
        }
    });

    return false;
});

In response to your comment – you would be better off to create some css like this:

.minus { background: url(../img/minus-button.png) top left no-repeat; }
.minus:hover { background-position: bottom left; }

.plus { background: url(../img/plus-button.png) top left no-repeat; }
.plus:hover { background-position: bottom left; }

Add the class of minus to close-menu and then do:

$('#close-menu').click(function() {
    $('#menu-bar').slideToggle(400, function(){
        $('#close-menu').toggleClass('minus');
        $('#close-menu').toggleClass('plus');
    });

    return false;
});
