You can use show and hide methods of a JQuery object to change the visibility of it like in the following example. You can check the visibility with is(':visible') method of JQuery.
Example:
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#myButton').click(function () {
if($('#myLink').is(':visible'))
$('#myLink').hide();
else
$('#myLink').show();
return true;
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" id="myButton" value=" show/hide link">
<br/>
<a id='myLink' href='#' onClick="myLink_onClick()">my link</a>
</body>
</html>
The screen will look like the following.
