While I am asking for help how would i go about implementing my li.js switch to something like this

content.slideUp();
content.load("http://tdr.host22.com/sections.html #" + this.id + "_section", hideLoading);
content.slideDown();

While I am asking for help how would i go about implementing my li.js switch to something like this...

You'd want to take advantage of what's called a fallthrough.

switch(this.id){
	case "home":
	case "about":
	case "shop":
	case "friend":
	case "vids":
	case "music":
	case "pics":
	case "ranks":
	case "stuff":
	case "read":
	case "leave":
		content.slideUp();
		content.load("http://tdr.host22.com/sections.html #" + this.id + "_section", hideLoading);
		content.slideDown();
		break;
	default:
		hideLoading();
	break;
}
