Question

I am trying to build a simple switch in a form. It works only one way. What am I missing here that is preventing this code from working?

HTML

<div id="SlideJoinDiv" align="right" style="background-image: url(img/buttons/SchuifNederlandsBG.png">
<img width="87px" height="53px" src="img/buttons/SchuifjeKnop.png" id="SlideJoin" />
</div>

jQuery

$(document).ready(function () {
  $('#SlideJoinDiv').click(function () {
    var waardeStart = 'gast';
    var waardeType = $('#TypeAccount').attr('value');
    if (waardeType = waardeStart) {
      $('#SlideJoinDiv').attr('align', 'left');
      $('#TypeAccount').attr('value', 'artist');
    } else {
      $('#SlideJoinDiv').attr('align', 'right');
      $('#TypeAccount').attr('value', 'gast');
    }
  });

Answer 1

waardeType = waardeStart 

Should be:

waardeType == waardeStart 

Right now you’re assigning, you need to be comparing.
