How to test if DIV is open or closed after slideToggle

Question

I have a Jquery Ui button ( #toggleIcons) that when clicked, toggles a div (.icons) to show some icons. I am also using Jquery Isotope and Infinitescroll to add new images dynamically. What I am trying to do is to have a way for the slideToggle state to be retained as the new images are added and updated. Ifinitescroll has a callback function so that I can update the page and state of the icons.

//My button click function
$("#styleSwitcher #toggleIcons" ).click(function() {
   $('.icons').slideToggle('slow');
   //for Isotope to update the layout
   $('#container').isotope('reLayout') 
    return false;
});

//code I am working on to put in callback to test if div is open or closed
if($(".icons").is(":hidden"))
{
  $('.icons').hide();
}
else
{
  $('.icons').show();
}

Not working. Any help or direction would be appreciated. thanks

You have your condition backwards:

if ($(".icons").is(":visible")) { <-----
  $('.icons').hide(); 
} else {
  $('.icons').show(); 
}
