I think you want to use jQuery's .bind and .unBind methods. In my testing, changing the click event using .click and .onclick actually called the newly assigned event, resulting in a never-ending loop.

For example, if the events you are toggling between are hide() and unHide(), and clicking one switches the click event to the other, you would end up in a continuous loop. A better way would be to do this:

$(element).unbind().bind( 'click' , function(){ alert('!') } );
