My guess is
which uses a callback function when the animation is complete.

There is a jQuery plug-in for cookies, or you could use a couple of JavaScript functions.

You also need to hide it if necessary when the page is loaded.

1. $(function() {
2.       if ($.cookie('newsHidden') == 'true') { // Test cookie
   
3.             $('#news1').hide(); // And hide if necessary
   
4.       }
5.       $('#hideNews').click(ShowHide);
   
6. });
7. 
   
8. function ShowHide() {
9.       $('#news1').animate({height: 'toggle'}, {duration: 250}, function() {
10.             $.cookie('newsHidden', !$(this).is(':visible')); // Set cookie
    
11.       });
12. }
