Giovanni:
Thanks for the suggestion, but, unfortunately it doesn't do
anything . :-(
However, I tried the following:
$("[id$="+b1+"] input").val("Hide"?"Show":"Hide");
This actually does switch the label to "show", but not back to
"hide" when clicked again.
BUT - I'm as confused about why it DOES work the first time as about
why it doesn't subsequently. <g>
The attribute "value" isn't actually the First element of the
"input" tag; "type" is. Why does .val change the Second element?
That's why I was using .attr before instead of .val)
(Remember, the target is <input type=button value="Hide" onclick="togl
('box1')"/>)
Also - The Docs say that .val with one argument GETS the value of
the first matched element.
Why does this call with one argument SET the first element?
Or, DOES it set the element? Even though it LOOKS like it's set, it
ACTS on subsequent calls as though it hasn't been.
