Question

I have a very simple function which should change the page background colour based on specific links being clicked, but I can’t figure out why it’s not working.

Here is a demo of what I have so far: http://jsfiddle.net/cF74Y/

It seems like it must be such a trivial mistake, but I can’t see it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You are compare string with number, change switch (currentItem) to switch (+currentItem) will make your demo work.

Addition: You could pass the currentItem as a parameter instead of using global variable.

Here is the working demo.
