Question

How can I put this two statements into one singel statement. They work something like in a mirror.
I am trying to make the code look better and simple.
Any help is very appreciated.

           $('#q_login_dialog #menu-register').click(function() {

                    $('#q_login_dialog #menu-login').removeClass('q_dialog_panel_item_active');
                    $('#q_login_dialog #menu-register').addClass('q_dialog_panel_item_active');
                    $('#q_dialog_login input[type!=hidden]').val('');
                    $('#q_dialog_reset input[type!=hidden]').val('');
                    $('#q_dialog_login').hide();    
                    $('#q_dialog_reset').hide();                                    
                    $('#q_dialog_register').show();
                    $('#q_dialog_register input[name=email]').focus();
                    $('#q_dialog_login input').blur();
                    $('#q_dialog_login span').html('');
                    what = 'register';                              
                });

            $('#q_login_dialog #menu-login').click(function() {

                    $('#q_login_dialog #menu-register').removeClass('q_dialog_panel_item_active');
                    $('#q_login_dialog #menu-login').addClass('q_dialog_panel_item_active');
                    $('#q_dialog_register input[type!=hidden]').val('');
                    $('#q_dialog_reset input[type!=hidden]').val('');   
                    $('#q_dialog_register').hide();
                    $('#q_dialog_reset').hide();                
                    $('#q_dialog_login').show();
                    $('#q_dialog_login input[name=email]').focus();
                    $('#q_dialog_register input').blur();
                    $('#q_dialog_register span').html('');  
                    what = 'login';                     
                });     

Answer 1

The only difference between the two seems to be the use of register vs. login, which should be fairly easy to parameterize:

function makeClickHandler(type, subtype) {
    return function() {
        $('#q_login_dialog #menu-' + subtype)
                .removeClass('q_dialog_panel_item_active');
        $(this).addClass('q_dialog_panel_item_active');
        $('#q_dialog_' + subtype + ' input[type!=hidden]').val('');
        $('#q_dialog_reset input[type!=hidden]').val('');
        $('#q_dialog_' + subtype).hide();   
        $('#q_dialog_reset').hide();                                   
        $('#q_dialog_' + type).show();
        $('#q_dialog_' + type + ' input[name=email]').focus();
        $('#q_dialog_' + subtype + 'input').blur();
        $('#q_dialog_' + subtype + 'span').html('');
        what = type;
    }
}

$('#q_login_dialog #menu-register').click(makeClickHandler("register", "login"));
$('#q_login_dialog #menu-login').click(makeClickHandler("login", "register"));

My eyes could be missing another difference, but I think that’s it (and, if not, you should see the general idea).
