If you're already using jQuery, you can simply use toggle():

$("#history").toggle();

You can use javascript method for this:

function toggle() {
    var target = document.getElementById("history");
    if(target.style.display == 'block'){
        target.style.display = 'none';
    }
    else {
        target.style.display = 'block';
    }

To collapse the HTML by default, set the attribute:

<div id="history" style="display:none;"></div>

jQuery Version:

<div id="temp" onClick="javascript:func()">Show/Hide</div>
<p/>
<div id="history"></div>
<script>
var html='';
 var show = "Yes";
 html += "<h5 id='collapsible'>"+ show +"</h5>";
  $('#history').html(html);

var func = function(){
  if($("#history").is(":visible")){
      $('#history').hide();
  }else{
  $('#history').show();
 }
}
</script>

Javascript:

$('#collapseHistory').on('click', function(){
      $("#history").toggle();
});

HTML:

<div id="history" style="display: none;"></div>
<div id="collapseHistory">Show/Hide</div>

This should work
