to start with... a <button> doesn't "toggle"
you want the click event there
then you'll want to do a check to see if the <li> is blue, if it is,
remove blue, otherwise add it
better use, use a CSS class with "color: blue"
.blue { color: blue; }
then you can say
$('#jqdt').find('ol li:eq(0)').toggleClass("blue");
