however, it's not really toggling you're looking for, but plain, old
writing.  so, try this on for size:

function writeText(oID, sText)
{
  if(!document.getElementById) return;
  oText = document.getElementById(oID);
  if(oText)
    oText.innerHTML = sText;
}

it's called like this:

onclick="writeText('ob_photo', 'Promo shot');"

now, get to work on making this whole thing work without scripting first.
