The page contains a table with a button at the end of each row. The button has function to change text (that is, when user click button, the text on the button and col5 swaps as pre-defined). Clicking "Activate" button changes the button text to "Inactivate" and col5 text to "Active". Also, clicking "Inactivate" button changes the button text to "Activate" and col5 text to "Inactive". But "Inactivate" button is not doing the stuff well.
The php file action.php is not relevant here because it is not printing anything.
Thanks in advance

For the issue with the inactivate button use a trim with the text() function. i.e.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.action_button').click(function() {
$(this).text($.trim($(this).text()) == 'Inactivate' ? 'Activate' : 'Inactivate');
var $col5 = $(this).closest('tr').find('.clickme2');
$col5.text( $.trim($col5.text()) == 'Inactive' ? 'Active' : 'Inactive');
return false;
});
});
Also please note the correction mentioned by Jacob regarding reference to this.
EDIT: Updated to use $.trim instead of String.trim
