How do you switch between two texts in one jQuery call?

Let's say you have a .click() call. What code could you write inside of that .click() call so that each time you click the selected element, you change the text between two strings. I'm assuming .toggle() and .text() would play a role here...

Try this:

$('#someElement').toggle(function(){
   $(this).text('text1');
  }, 
 function(){
   $(this).text('text2');
 }
);

Try something along these lines:

$element.bind('click', function() {
    $(this).html($(this).html() == 'string1' ? 'string2' : 'string1');
});

Note that bind() is now deprecated. You should be using on() instead, as of jQuery 1.7+:

$element.on('click', function() {
  $(this).text((i, t) => t == 'string1' ? 'string2' : 'string1');
});

Say your clickableElement is a button and you want to toggle the button's text/label:

$('#clickableElement').click(function() {
    var originalValue = $(this).val();
    $(this).val(originalValue == 'string1' ? 'string2' : 'string1');
});

$('#togglep').on('click', function(){
  $(this).text(function(st1,st2){
    if (st2=='MARKO'){return 'POLO'};
    return 'MARKO'
  })
})
