   <script type="text/javascript" src="js/toggle.js"></script>

<body>


  <input type="submit" value="button">
</body>
</html>

jQuery

$(':submit').click(function() {
    // Act on the event
    $('submit').attr('Please wait', 'value')
});

The online tutorial I was following.

    You should refer to $(this) inside your callback:

    $(':submit').click(function() {
    // Act on the event
    $(this).attr('value', 'Please wait')
});

    Anyway, an <input> is a part of a <form> element – you should bind the submit event of the form itself, and not a single element.

    If you just want a button, stick with <button>.
