Hiding and showing div's from menu

Question

I'm quite novice with javascript and can't get a working version of a page that would show/hide divs based on the selected menu item. I always end to have only menu items visible. How to access and cotnrol to content portion of the html from the menu.

Hiding is probabbly quite easy, something like:

$("#div1").hide();
$("#div2").hide();

But I have not found a way to show a div related to menu selection and hiding rest.

Here is an approach using jQuery's hide/show:

 $(document).ready(function() { make_menuitem_active(); }) function make_menuitem_active() { $("#div1").show(); $("#div2").hide(); $("#div3").hide(); $("#item1").on("click", function() { $(this).addClass("active"); $(this).siblings().removeClass("active"); $("#div1").show(); $("#div1").siblings("div").hide(); }) $("#item2").on("click", function() { $(this).addClass("active"); $(this).siblings().removeClass("active"); $("#div2").show(); $("#div2").siblings("div").hide(); }) $("#item3").on("click", function() { $(this).addClass("active"); $(this).siblings().removeClass("active"); $("#div3").show(); $("#div3").siblings("div").hide(); }) }

 .hor_menu { display: inline-block; } .hor_menu { height: 25; font-size: 18px; } .hor_menu li { list-style: none; float: left; margin-right: 4px; padding: 5px; } .hor_menu li.active { background-color: #e9e9e9; } .hor_menu li:hover { text-decoration: underline; }

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <ul class="hor_menu" id="menu"> <li class="active" id="item1"><a>Menu item 1</a></li> <li id="item2">Menu item 2</li> <li id="item3">Menu item 3</li> </ul> <div id="div1"> <p>Show me when menu item 1 selected</p> </div> <div id="div2" class="hide"> <p>Show me when menu item 2 selected</p> </div> <div id="div3" class="hide"> <p>Show me when menu item 3 selected</p> </div>
