After coming up with this code a few minutes ago, I began to ponder if there was a more elegant way to optimize it and condense it into fewer lines. It would be even better if we could find a solution that eliminates the need for the switch condition altogether.
switch(orientation){
case 'l':
$('landscapeButton').addClassName('active');
$('portraitButton').removeClassName('active');
break;
default:
$('landscapeButton').removeClassName('active');
$('portraitButton').addClassName('active');
}
Do you think it's possible to further optimize this code? If so, how would you go about achieving that?
Edit: I forgot to mention which library/libraries I am using. I typically use both Prototype and jQuery, but for this example, I went with Prototype as it's my preferred option for handling CSS class names. Regardless, I'm open to solutions in either Prototype or jQuery. Thank you to everyone!
