Try this:

C#

$('ul li a').click(function() {
    var href = $(this).attr('href');
    $(href).show();
    $('div#MainAl div:not(' + href + ')').hide();
});

How this works: when a link inside a list is clicked, you get the href attribute from the clicked link. This href attribute is actually the selector for the div that you want to show. So, show this div, and hide all other divs inside div#MainAl.

Solution 3

To add to the solution by ProgramFOX, suggest adding 'event.preventDefault()':

JavaScript

$('ul li a').click(function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    var href = $(this).attr('href');
    ...

See document:event.preventDefault()

+5, it's indeed a good idea to avoid 'jumping' on the page.

Solution 1

Give your target elements class or id then bind click events to it.
