javascript/Jquery improvement on a .hide() .show() div menu
<p>i am super new to javascript and jquery self thought ....been working on this menu for a bit and i have finally "finished" but iv got some horrendous code and i am looking for ways to improve my code to make it more readable and functional any tips and hints would be helpful. the idea to save space on the page each div will have different parts of a form that the user will fill out
here is some of the code</p>

<pre><code>       &lt;body&gt;

    &lt;div class="content"&gt;

        &lt;div class="menu" id="menu"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;div class="content" id="sort"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;div class="menu"id="menu1"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;div class="content" id="1sort"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;div class="menu"id="menu2"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;div class="content" id="sort2"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

    &lt;script&gt;
        var show = true;
        var show2 = false;
        var show3 = false;

        $('#1sort').hide("fast");
        $('#sort2').hide("fast");

        $("#menu").click(function () {
            if (show == true) {
                $('#sort').hide("fast");
                $('#1sort').show("fast");
                show = false;
                show2 = true;
            } else if (show == false) {
                $('#sort').show("fast");
                $('#1sort').hide("fast");
                $('#sort2').hide("fast");
                show = true;
                show2 = false;
                show3 = false;
            }

        });

        $("#menu1").click(function () {
            if (show2 == true) {
                $('#1sort').hide("fast");
                $('#sort2').show("fast");
                show2 = false;
                show3 = true;
            } else if (show2 == false) {
                $('#1sort').show("fast");
                $('#sort').hide("fast");
                $('#sort2').hide("fast");
                show = false;
                show2 = true;
                show3 = false;
            }

        });

        $("#menu2").click(function () {
            if (show3 == false) {
                $('#1sort').hide("fast");
                $('#sort').hide("fast");
                $('#sort2').show("fast");
                show = false;
                show2 = false;
                show3 = true;
            }                      
          });       



    &lt;/script&gt;
