[jQuery] return true/false

[jQuery] return true/false


I have the following jquery code
$('.menu li').click(function() {
        $(this).children("ul").slideDown("fast");
        $(this).siblings("li").children("ul").slideUp("fast");
        if ( $(this).children("ul").length ) {
            $(this).css("background-color","black");
            return false;
        } else {
            $(this).css("background-color","red");
            return true;
        }
    });
Everything works as expected. However, the "return true" part doesn't
work. Is this wrong syntax?
