If you don t mind the boolean being converted to a number  that is either 0 or 1   you can use the Bitwise XOR Assignment Operator  Like so   bool    true      - toggle value     This is especially good if you use long  descriptive boolean names  EG   var inDynamicEditMode     true         Value is  true  boolean  inDynamicEditMode         true         Value is  0  number  inDynamicEditMode         true         Value is  1  number  inDynamicEditMode         true         Value is  0  number    This is easier for me to scan than repeating the variable in each line   This method works in all  major  browsers  and most programming languages
