Toggle and show div's on html page

Question

Hi Lets say I have an HTML page, with 5 div's.
In addition I have four buttons.
I'd like to activate every button, so that few divs will appear, but few will be collapsed.
But some of the divs can be opened by few buttons,
for exemple:
button1 : shows div1, div3, div5
button2 : shows div2, div3
button3 : shows div1, div4, div5
button4 : shows all divs.

Can someone help me to do it?
Thanks!

Tali.

Copy this into a new html file, and open with your browser.

        function buttonPressed(button) {

            //hide them all
            $("#div1").hide();
            $("#div2").hide();
            $("#div3").hide();

            $("#div5").hide();

            switch (button) {

                    $("#div5").show();

                    $("#div5").show();
            }

            $("#status").html("You pressed button " + button.toString());
        }
    </script>

    <div id="status">Press a button........</div>

</body>
</html>

Update in response to comments;
To make it work using Links instead of buttons, all you need to do is change the div containing the buttons to;

HTML

<div><a onclick="buttonPressed(1)">Link 1</a><a onclick="buttonPressed(2)">Link 2</a><a onclick="buttonPressed(3)">Link 3</a><a onclick="buttonPressed(4)">Link 4</a></div>
