javascript button update field

I have a javascript button I am trying to create to update a picklist field on a custom object.  Here is the code for the button:

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/29.0/connection.js")}

var p = new sforce.SObject('Projects__c');
p.id = "{Projects__c.Id}";
p.Status__c = "Closed";
result = sforce.connection.update([p]);
location.reload(true);

The code is not throwing errors on the object it is just not updating the field.  The page is reloading. Anything wrong with the code?

Looks like you missed "!" in your merge field it must be {!Projects__c.Id}. Also you can alert on result.message if you want to see any errors.

Thank you so much.  I don't know how I missed that.

Hi Michaela Chrysostomou,
Please Use This.
You have missed assigning the ID to variable

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/29.0/connection.js")} 
var p = new sforce.SObject("Live_Events__c"); 
p.id = "{!Live_Events__c.id}";
p.StatusB__c= "Deleted"; 
result = sforce.connection.update([p]); 
location.reload(true);


!Hope This will work..:)
