how to toggle attr() in jquery

Question

I have a simple add attribute function:

$(\".list-toggle\").click(function() {
    $(\".list-sort\").attr(\'colspan\', 6);
});

My question is:

Answer 1

$('.list-toggle').click(function() {
    var $listSort = $('.list-sort');
    if ($listSort.attr('colspan')) {
        $listSort.removeAttr('colspan');
    } else {
        $listSort.attr('colspan', 6);
    }
});

Here's a working fiddle example.
