Well, if you just want to loop through the array to change the
background color, you don't really need toggle then. Try this:
$("#item_list > li > div > a").click(function(){
var arrValues = ['rgb(9, 128, 0)','rgb(0, 255, 255)','rgb(0, 0,
255)','rgb(128, 0, 128)'],
bgcolor = $.inArray($(this).css('background-color'),arrValues)+1;
$(this).css('background-color',arrValues[bgcolor===arrValues.length?
0:bgcolor]);
});
disclaimer: just wrote it inside Firebug's console, so haven't tested
it outside that...
