A quick solution is adding two new css classes

C#

.menuArrowUp {
  padding-left: +16px;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-image: url("images/ArrowUp.png");
}
.menuArrowDown {
  padding-left: +16px;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-image: url("images/ArrowDown.png");
}

Then in the event handler, pass in the anchor element clicked

C#

And just change the anchor's class when you toggle the class of the menu, like so,

C#

function showHide(theid, a) {
  if(currentOpenItemName!="" && theid!=currentOpenItemName) showHide(currentOpenItemName);
  if (document.getElementById)
  {
    var switch_id = document.getElementById(theid);
    if(menu_status[theid] != 'show') {
      switch_id.className = 'show';
      menu_status[theid] = 'show';
      currentOpenItemName = theid;
      a.className = 'menu1 menuArrowDown';
    } else {
      switch_id.className = 'hide';
      menu_status[theid] = 'hide';
      currentOpenItemName = "";
      a.className = 'menu1 menuArrowUp';
    }
  }
}

Not the cleanest but it gets the job.
