Answer 1

try this. it allows multiple items so isn't ID specific. and supports any content loaded via AJAX as well. jsfiddle is here

<div class='toggle_parent'>
  <div class='toggleHolder'>
    <span class='toggler'>Open</span>
    <span class-'toggler' style='display:none;'>Close</span>
  </div>
  <div class='toggled_content' style='display:none;'>
      My Content
  </div>
</div>

and

$('.toggler').live('click',function(){
  $(this).parent().children().toggle();  //swaps the display:none between the two spans
  $(this).parent().parent().find('.toggled_content').slideToggle();  //swap the display of the main content with slide action

});

Answer 2

You can just use slideToggle() in the click function:

$('.grabPromo').click(function(e){
    $('.slideDown').slideToggle();
});

Here's a demo.

<div id="content">
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla blabla bla blabla bla bla
</div>
<input type="button" id="myButton" value="Slide down ↓"/>

$("#myButton").toggle(function(){
    $("#content").slideDown();
    $(this).val("Slide up ↑");
},function(){
    $("#content").slideUp();
    $(this).val("Slide down ↓")
});
