I'd like to make my jQuery a bit more smart by creating functions instead of repeating myself over and over. Take this code as an example:

$('#button').click(function(){
		$('#box1').animate({width: 300, height: 250}, 1000);
		$('#box1').animate({opacity: 0.75}, 2000);
	});

Now, I'd like to do the very same two animations for another object plus I need the #button (what do you call this element in this example? Trigger?) to be something else. How will I do this best?

Thanks,
Oskar

Have you seen the screen-casts on jQuery? I think the second one could help you out. Chris shows you how to make you own functions. I highly recommend it for solving your problem, if you haven't already watched it.
