'Improve my show hide divs function Jquery [closed]
I'm new and I just made one of my first ugly function to show and hide. But I would like someone that actually knows about the subject to review it and show me a better way to do it.
Basically I'm making a small single page web that has four buttons, and from there you can go to all the sections, its really small content so I choose to switch between divs that are hidden. I'm reading about jquery and been using it lately just a tiny bit. I made a function that works how I want, but I'm sure it can be improved and as result ill learn more.
Thanks!!
Css:
#page1, #page2{
display: none;
}
Jquery:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("button.page1").click(function(){
$("#main").hide();
$("#page1").show();
});
$("button.page2").click(function(){
$("#main").hide();
$("#page2").show();
});
$("button.page3").click(function(){
alert("Time flies, coming soon!!");
});
$("button.page4").click(function(){
alert("I'm working on it, coming soon!!");
});
$("button.gobackfrompage1").click(function(){
$("#main").show();
$("#page1").hide();
});
$("button.gobackfrompage2).click(function(){
$("#main").show();
$("#page2").hide();
});
});

You can condense this by adding a class to each button. Then in the jQuery you can bind a click event handler to the class and use the "this" keyword to execute the function on the specific HTML element.
Here's an example: Jquery select this + class
