I am trying to make a button open up another window using jquery.

The button should be able to open the window. Then the same button should be used to close the window afterwards. The problem I seem to be having appears that my variables are not being set after the button opens the window. I am really new to javascript and jquery, so I’m not sure if I did something wrong.

<html>
  <head>
   <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
   <script type="text/javascript"> 
      var FileEdit = 0;
      $(document).ready(function(){
        if (FileEdit == 0)
        {
           $("button").click(function(){
             $("div").animate({opacity:0.4},"fast");
             $("div").animate({height:300,width:300},"slow");
             $("div").animate({opacity:1},"slow");
             FileEdit = 1;
           });
        }  
        if (FileEdit == 1)
        {
             $("button").click(function(){
                $("div").animate({height:000,width:000},"slow");
                FileEdit = 0;
             });
        }
      });
    </script> 
  </head>

     <body>
       <button>Start Animation</button>
       <br /><br />
       <div style="background:#98bf21;height:000px;width:000px;">
       </div>
    </body>
</html>

    jsFiddle DEMO

    var FileEdit = 0;

$("button").on('click', function(){

    // You only need one on('click') function
    // Test for FileEdit here & do whatever you need

    if (FileEdit === 0) { 

        // Also having those 3 animations right in a row won't make them
        // go one - after - another. You need to use callback functions
        // to start the next animation after the previous one finished.

        $("div").animate({opacity:0.4},"fast", //callback1
            function () { $(this).animate({height:300,width:300},"slow", //callback2
                function () { $("div").animate({opacity:1},"slow"); }
            )}
        );
        FileEdit = 1;
    }

    else { 
         $("div").animate({height:000,width:000},"slow");
         FileEdit = 0;
    }
});
