Hey all,
I'm trying to have the following tag toggle between a "-" and the checkmark character (✓)
<a id='p_4' class='fancy_button orange bls_button' href='#'>-</a>
And here's the jquery code:
        if (button.text() == '-') {
            button.html('✓'); }
This works in FF3.6 and IE8, but not in WebKit (Chrome or iPhone safari).
Is there something I'm doing wrong, or does webkit just not like .html("✓")
Thanks, Sam
