Exit Or Abort Function In Js?

[skaterdav85]

So here is my routine. I want to abort the script inside the first if statement, so that when you click once, the div is displayed, and when you click a 2nd time, it hides. But this doesnt work if you reset x equal to 0, because it just keeps the div displayed. And if you dont reset x to 0, the 3rd click (if you wanted to show the div again), wont do anything. Any ideas?<script language="javascript">var x = 0;function showBody() {if(x == 1) { document.getElementById('body').style.display='none'; x=0;//NEED EXIT OR ABORT FUNCTION HERE............................................... }if(x == 0) { document.getElementById('body').style.display='block'; x = 1;}}</script><div onclick="showBody();">click here</div><div id="body" style="display:none;">this is the hidden body</div>

Just use return.function showBody() {if(x == 1) {document.getElementById('body').style.display='none';x=0;return;}...

what does return do? Ive never really been familiar with this, except the fact it can return a value. what does return alone do?

It exits the function immediately. Doesn't matter if you're in a loop or whatever. Just BANG and you're out. Control passes to the statement that follows the statement that called the function in the first place.
