Question

I have a HTML Jquery menu bar which I have created, and I need to create a button to show and hide the menu.

I am think that somehow I can use JQUERY also in this to show/hide the menu bar with a click of the menu button.

The menu bar is like so

I am thinking I can somehow collapse all the buttons into the top icon? Is this possible?
