I've heard requests for that a lot - the ability to toggle text,
toggle values, toggle attributes, toggle css.
I wonder if something like this could be done:
.text("value A", "value B")
.val("value A", "value B")
.css("display", "none", "block")
and it sets the value to to opposite of what's currently shown. Just a thought.
