Simpliflying jQuery calls that use redundant data

Question

I have a bit of code that controls some divs but its repeats a lot just for one little change on a different link

If I click #Option1 then 2-5 shrink to 0 (if any of them are open) and go to 0 opacity and vice versa if you click 2 (collapsing 1 and the rest) but i cant think of a good way to make it more generic but there has to be a way

$('#Option1').click(function() {
      var ele = $('#Option1Div');
      ele.animate({
               opacity    : .75,
               width      : '602px'
          }, 5000, function() {
          // Animation complete.
  });
      var ele = $('#Option2Div');
      ele.animate({
               opacity    : 0.1,
               width      : '0px'
          }, 5000, function() {
          // Animation complete.
  });
      var ele = $('#Option3Div');
      ele.animate({
               opacity    : 0.1,
               width      : '0px'
          }, 5000, function() {
          // Animation complete.
  });
      var ele = $('#Option4Div');
      ele.animate({
               opacity    : 0.1,
               width      : '0px'
          }, 5000, function() {
          // Animation complete.
  });
      var ele = $('#Option5Div');
      ele.animate({
               opacity    : 0.1,
               width      : '0px'
          }, 5000, function() {
          // Animation complete.
  });
});

Answer 1

You can try this

  $('#Option1 , #Option2 ,#Option3 , #Option4 , #Option5').click(function() {
    var ele = $('#' + this.id + 'Div');
    ele.animate({
        opacity: .75,
        width: '602px'
    }, 5000, function() {
        // Animation complete.
    });

    $('[id^="Option"][id$="Div"]').not(ele).animate({
        opacity: 0.1,
        width: '0px'
    }, 5000, function() {
        // Animation complete.
    });
});

Answer 2

If you give your options a class of options and your divs a class of option-divs, you can use something like this:

$('.options').click(function() {
    var element = $('.option-divs').eq($(this).index());

    element.stop().animate({
        opacity: .75,
        width: '602px'
    }, 5000).siblings().stop().animate({
        opacity: 0.1,
        width: '0px'
    }, 5000);
});​

Answer 3

Technically, as you have different values for opacity, width, and eventually duration of animation, you cannot do a job purely generic.

But you could isolate all changing data in array and apply a generic code like:

    var opacities = [0.75, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1];
    var widths = [602, 0, 0, 0, 0];
    var durations = [500, 500, 500, 500, 500];
    var callbacksComplete = [cb1, cb2, cb3, cb4, cb5];

    $('#Option1').click(function() {

        // Assume that 3 arrays have the same size !
        for(var i = 0 ; i < opacities.length ; i++)
        {
            $('#Option' + i + 'Div').animate({
                'opacity' : opacities[i],
                'width' : widths[i]
            }, durations[i], callbacksComplete[i]);
        }
    }
