clearing onlclick event

[George Cruys]

Hi there, I used the following 2 functions to change the text on a button and open a hidden div at the same. I want to revert back to the original text on the button (read more..) when I click to close the div again.

Please help :D

function onclick(){
    javascript:readmore('text1')
}
 
function valChange(){
    document.myForm.myButton.value="...reduce text"
}

make a new function that restores the original Text and interchange the two handlers each time the button is pressed.

ex.

function changeVal()
{
    this.value = "… reduce text";
    this.removeEventListener("click", changeVal, false);
    this.addEventListener("click", changeValBack, false);
}
function changeValBack()
{
    this.value = "… read more";
    this.removeEventListener("click", changeValBack, false);
    this.addEventListener("click", changeVal, false);
}
// button is the reference to the button element
button.addEventListener("click", changeVal, false);
