Hello jQuery community. I am very new to jQuery, and need some help with some pretty simple code. I am trying to create some code so that when you click on a letter or word within a <span> area, it changes color. The span area is defined by a class .e1 Below is what I have so far, I can get the text to change color on the first click, but will not change back.

$('.e1').click(function() {
                if($(this).css('color', '#000')) {
                      $(this).css('color', '#DD6660');
                }
               else {
                     $(this).css('color', '#000');
                }
 });

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks guys!
