jQuery select an element s class and id at the same time

Question

I ve got some links that I want to select class and id at the same time   This is because I ve got 2 different behaviours  When a class of links got one class name they behave in one way  when the same clas of links got another class name they behave differently  The class names are switch with jquery   So I have to be able to select a links class AND id at the same time  Is this possible   I ve tried       a  save  country     without any result

Just to add that the answer that Alex provided worked for me  and not the one that is highlighted as an answer    This one didn t work for me        country save      But this one did         country  save      so my conclusion is to use the space  Now I don t know if it s to the new version of jQuery that I m using  1 5 1   but anyway hope this helps to anyone with similar problem that I ve had   edit  Full credit for explanation  in the comment to Alex s answer  goes to Felix Kling who says    The space is the descendant selector  i e  A B means  Match all elements that match B which are a descendant of elements matching A   AB means  select all  element that match A and B   So it really depends on what you want to achieve   country save and  country  save are not equivalent

You can do       country save        OR     a country save        OR      a save country        as you prefer   So yes you can specify a selector that has to match ID and class  and potentially tag name and anything else you want to throw in
