Hey all,

I'm trying to have the following tag toggle between a "-" and the checkmark character (✓)

<a id='p_4' class='fancy_button orange bls_button' href='#'>-</a>

And here's the jquery code:

        if (button.text() == '-') {
            button.html('&#10003'); }

This works in FF3.6 and IE8, but not in WebKit (Chrome or iPhone safari).

Is there something I'm doing wrong, or does webkit just not like .html("✓")

Thanks, Sam
