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
