Changing variables for currentElement.firstChild.data
I am working on a script that allows a link's text to be changed from Show Video to Hide Video and back. However, I can't get this to work, as it changes but won't change back.My script:
HTML Code:<head> <script language="javascript"> // I wrote this. The alert is to see if the var changes. var chText = "Hide Video" function change(){ if (chText == "Hide Video") { var chText = "Show Video"; } else { var chText = "Hide Video"; } alert(chText) } </script> <script language="javascript"> //Not mine. It works fine. function changeText(currentElement){ currentElement.firstChild.data=chText; } </script> </head> <body> <a href="#" onclick="change(), changeText(this)">Show Video</a> </body>
