Answer 1

in html use class for anchor related div

<div id="fit" class="heading">FIT</div>
<a href="#er">first</a>
<div id="er" style="display:none;" class="anchorrel">aksdjfhaskdj hskj hskjfh sd fghjgfdjf gdsjfdg jdfgjdf gjgdfjgfdjf gasdkjfasjfghsdj </div>
<a href="#erp">erp</a>
<div id="erp" style="display:none;" class="anchorrel">erp </div>
<div id="style" class="heading">style</div>




<script>
    $(document).ready(function(e) {
        $("a").click(function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
            var ab = $(this).attr("href");
            //alert(ab);
            $(".anchorrel").hide();// all div related to .anchorrel hide
            $(ab).show();

        });
    });
    </script>

You can do this:

$(document).ready(function (e) {

    // Cache the anchor tag here
    var $link = $('a');

    // Click event handler for the link
    $link.click(function (e) {

        // prevent the default action of the anchor
        e.preventDefault();

        var id = this.href;

        // Hide all the visible divs next to all the anchors
        $link.next('div:visible').hide();

        // Show the current div with id
        $(id).show();
    });
});

Answer 3

If you wan't to close all other div's and display only the div with the id that matches the href of the tag clicked than use the following:

$("a").click(function(e) {
    var ab = $(this).attr("href");
    $('div').hide();
    $(ab).show();
});

I don't know why you comment it in the first place, maybe i don't understand what you wan't to acheive.

JavaScript

$(document).ready(function(e) {
    $("a").click(function(e) {
        var ab = $(this).attr("href");  
        $('.content').hide();
        $(ab).show();

    });
});

HTML

<div id="fit" class="heading">FIT</div>
<a href="#er">first</a>
<div id="er" class="content hide">aksdjfhaskdj hskj hskjfh sd fghjgfdjf gdsjfdg jdfgjdf gjgdfjgfdjf gasdkjfasjfghsdj </div>
<a href="#erp">erp</a>
<div id="erp" class="content hide">erp </div>
<div id="style" class="heading">style</div>

Well you can do better this way:

$(document).ready(function(e) {
  $("a").click(function (e) {
      e.preventDefault; // <------------stop the default behavior
      var ab = $(this).attr('href'); // <------better to use in terms of performance
      $(ab).show().siblings('div:not(.heading)').hide();
  });
});
