title: jQuery slideToggle: Hiccups after sliding up in IE 8
body: <p>I am using the jQuery slideToggle() function to show and hide a span. Here is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(".slideButton")
    .click(function(event) {
      $(".slideText").slideToggle("slow");
      event.preventDefault();
    });
  
  &lt;span class="slideText" style="display:none"&gt;
     blah...blah...blah
  &lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;a href="" class="slideButton"&gt;more...&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It works the way I would expect on opening, but when closing, the span slides closed, then quickly flashes all the text in the span, and finally disappears. Almost like it has a hiccup.</p>
  
  <p>I have this issue in IE 8, but not Firefox.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone know to resolve this? Thanks.</p>
