[jQuery] Show Function Disappering

[jQuery] Show Function Disappering


So Im just starting to learn JQuery and im making a simple webpage
that hides a paragraph when the page opens and then you click a link
to view that paragraph. However when i run the script, the paragraph
comes on for a second and then disappears. I searched for a fix and i
havent found anything yet, so i came here.
Im using the newest version of Jquery (1.2.6)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
