Please can you help me check this code??..
The idea is to change the text on the button when it is clicked...
<input type="button" id="toggle" value="change"/>
$('#toggle').on('click',function(){
var text=$('#toggle').text();
if(text=='change'){
$('#toggle').text('text changed');
}else if(text=='change'){
$('#toggle').text('change');
}
I also tried...
$('#toggle').attr('value');
But it still didn't work
So tell me why its not working
and am running the code on my android phone so could that also be the reason ??

this should work

$('#toggle').click(function () {
$(this).attr("value","new text" ) ;
});

it is working bro,did you even try it,because you saw attr in the code ?
you used --- attr|("value"


i used
attr("value","new text" ) ....... did you link to the jquery lib before writing the codes ?

What about that? Does it log errors to the console?

You where using .text() value instead of attribute value that's why it didnt work
Use this to toggle the value of the button every time you click
$('#toggle').click(function() {
if ($(this).attr('value') == "change" ){

$(this).attr('value', 'another change');

}

else {
$(this).attr('value', 'change');
}
});
