I've been fighting this for two hours. Hep me, hep me???

I'm trying to toggle a line of text between +1 and +2 using JS.

function togLit()
{
    if (a==0 || a=1)
    {
        name.outerHTML="<font size=+1>HELLLLP</font>";
        a=1;
    }
    else
    {
        name.outerHTML="<font size=+2>HELLLLP</font>";
        a=2;
    }
}

It's actually about 80 lines of code total, but well....

Anyway. The second time around it won't change the outerHTML. Is there a
better way to do this? It seems that name.outerHTML!="name.outerHTML" once
you've used it. Does it become something else? Like mod.name.outerHTML or
something, in JS's eyes.

Thanks,

John
