Javascript - populate a div with content from a hidden div using click buttons

Here's a version that uses jquery data attributes. It reduces the redundancy and complexity and can be configured easily.

<body>
        <div class="button-panel">
            <ul id="button-column" style="list-style: none;">
                <li class="buttons"><button id="button1" data-link="option1">Button 1</button></li>
                <li class="buttons"><button id="button2" data-link="option2">Button 2</button></li>
                <li class="buttons"><button id="button3" data-link="option3">Button 3</button></li>
            </ul>
        </div>
        <div id="info-div">
            <div id="info">

            </div>
        </div>
<div id="hiddenDivs" style="display:none;">
    <div class="info" id="option1">Box</div>
    <div class="info" id="option2">Google Drive</div>
    <div class="info" id="option3">Box</div>
</div>
</body>
<script>
   $('.buttons button').click(function (){
        $('#info').empty();
        $('#info').html($("#" + $(this).data('link')).html());
    });   
</script>
