if your ID's are only numbered for the sake of trying to match your
link to toggle_effect is worth learning about indexing which is
extremely useful for 1:1 matching. The allows you to apply class
instead of ID to elements
assume changing ID's to classes named toggle-effect_button and
toggle_effect,
code would be very straightforward
$(".toggle-effect_button").click(function() {
var togIndex=$(".toggle-effect_button").index(this)
$("#toggle_effect").eq(togIndex).toggle('blind',500)
});

var id = this.id.replace("toggle_effect_button", "");
$("#toggle_effect" + id).toggle('blind',500);
return false;

Hello,
I'm new to jQuery and would appreciate some help with Selectors.
At the moment I know enough to write some clunky repetitive code that
violates the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle
// Toggle Divs
$("a#toggle_effect_button").click(function(){
$("#toggle_effect").toggle('blind',500);
return false;
});
$("a#toggle_effect_button2").click(function(){
$("#toggle_effect2").toggle('blind',500);
return false;
});
$("a#toggle_effect_button3").click(function(){
$("#toggle_effect3").toggle('blind',500);
return false;
});
$("a#toggle_effect_button4").click(function(){
$("#toggle_effect4").toggle('blind',500);
return false;
});
$("a#toggle_effect_button5").click(function(){
$("#toggle_effect5").toggle('blind',500);
return false;
});
$("a#toggle_effect_button6").click(function(){
$("#toggle_effect6").toggle('blind',500);
return false;
});
$("a#toggle_effect_button7").click(function(){
$("#toggle_effect7").toggle('blind',500);
return false;
});
$("a#toggle_effect_button8").click(function(){
$("#toggle_effect8").toggle('blind',500);
return false;
});
How can I boilerplate code like this? They all refer to similar links that controller the jQueryUI toggle action on DIV containers.
If I assign a class to the "toggle_effect_button" hyperlinks is there a way to locate the correct DIV and toggle it?
Or am I already doing this in the most concise way?
Thanks for your help
