How to toggle HTML text of an anchor tag using jQuery  I want an anchor that when clicked the text alternates between Show Background  amp  Show Text as well as fading in  amp  out another div  This was my best guess    function            quot  show-background quot   click function                 quot  content-area quot   animate  opacity   toggle     slow                     quot  show-background quot   toggle function               this  text  quot Show Background quot            stop           function              this  text  quot Show Text quot            stop

The most beautiful answer is    Extend jQuery with this function       fn extend       toggleText  function a  b           return this text this text      b   a   b               HTML    lt button class  example  gt  Initial  lt  button gt    Use        example   toggleText  Initial    Secondary      I ve used the logic   x    b   a   b   in the case that the initial HTML text is slightly different  an extra space  period  etc     so you ll never get a duplicate showing of the intended initial value    Also why I purposely left spaces in the HTML example  -    Another possibility for HTML toggle use brought to my attention by Meules  below  is     fn extend           toggleHtml  function a  b               return this html this html      b   a   b                       HTML    lt div gt John Doe was an unknown  lt button id  readmore john doe  gt  Read More     lt  button gt  lt  div gt    Use       readmore john doe   click   toggleHtml       Read More            Until they found his real name was  lt strong gt Doe John lt  strong gt           or something like this

In most cases you would have more complex behavior tied to your click event  For example a link that toggles visibility of some element  in which case you would want to swap link text from  Show Details  to  Hide Details  in addition to other behavior   In that case this would be a preferred solution     fn extend     toggleText  function  a  b       if  this text      a   this text b         else   this text a             You could use it this way     document  on  click     toggle-details   function e     e preventDefault        other things happening     this  toggleText  Show Details    Hide Details
