What am I missing with this toggle?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Should be a simple toggle display, but seems to change only ONE time.
Any idea what I doing wrong?

[code]
<html>
<head>
<script type=”text/javascript”>

function changeLink2() {
var sel = document.getElementById(‘MyButton’); // alert(sel.value);
if (sel.value == ‘Changed to 1’) { sel.value = “Changed To 2”; }
else { sel.value = “Changed To 1″; }
}
</script>
</head>
<body>

<input id=”MyButton” type=”button” onclick=”changeLink2()” value=”Change link”>

</body>
</html>
[/code]

@JMRKERauthorAug 23.2011 — Figured out how to do it,

but I don't understand why this works and first post does not???
<i>
</i>&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;

function changeLink2() {
var sel = document.getElementById('MyButton'); // alert(sel.value);
sel.value = (sel.value == 'Changed to 1') ? 'Changed to 2' : 'Changed to 1';
}
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;

&lt;input id="MyButton" type="button" onclick="changeLink2()" value="Change link"&gt;

&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;

@TcobbAug 23.2011 — Its the difference between [CODE]if (sel.value == 'Changed to 1')[/CODE] and [CODE]sel.value = "Changed To 1"; }[/CODE]

Notice that in one case it is "to" and "To" in the other.

Good catch, I missed that both times I browsed the post. I was thinking of far

more esoteric reasons and forgot to KISS.

Success!
