Quesiton about two javascript functions, swtiching between them in ONCLICK

[endlesstide]

If I have two functions, and want to toggle back and forth between 1
and 2 from an onclick event.... how would I parse that? Thanks mucho



<script>

javascript function1() {

something1....

}

javascript function2() {

something2....

}

</script>

<script>

javascript function1() {

****change for demo
function functionOne(){

something1....

}

javascript function2() {

***change for demo
function functionTwo(){

something2....

}

</script>

One way is to add another function that will call the first two alternately
and your button calls the new function instead of the other two.:...
var booly = true; //(not in a function)
function thirdFunction(){//**(Call this from the button)
if (booly){
functionOne();
}else{
functionTwo();
}
booly != booly; // **changes booly from true to false or vice-versa
}//*end of function

Having some problems with this, check it:

<script>
var booly = true; //(not in a function)
function openinput(){//**(Call this from the button)
if (booly){
null;
}else{
alert('hi2');
}
booly != booly; // **changes booly from true to false or
vice-versa
}//*end of function


</script>
<a href="#" onclick=openinput()>Click</a>


this should in theory show "hi2" after clicking the link twice?

No, because
1 you reload the page every time.
2 != is a comparison operator, not an assignment operator

Try:

<script type='text/javascript'>

var booly = false;

function myTest(){
if (booly)
alert('hi2');
booly = !booly;
return false;
}
</script>

<a href="#" onclick='return myTest()'>Click</a>

Your code is unlikely to help anybody until you learn
(a) javascript,
(b) how to test code before posting it.

There is no assignment operator != (it is relational), and the line
containing it has no effect.

Consider, however

var B = true
...
(B = !B) ? F1() : F2()
or ((B = !B) ? F1 : F2) ()

I don't believe I did that -
Change code from
booly != booly; //** incorrect comparison
to
booly = !booly; //**(correct assignment)
*** duh

**** I caught it - but too late for your barb.

...
(B = !B) ? F1() : F2()
or ((B = !B) ? F1 : F2) ()

Clever! Impresses me, but probably confuses the OP.
y'made me look at
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Guide:Operators:Logical_Operators
for an explanation. thanky, thanky - keep it coming -
oh, and I will also persist due to your encouragement .

Sorry - change my code FROM "booly != booly TO "booly = !booly
I would have caught it if I tested it first -
