[jquery] jQuery same click event for multiple elements

Is there any way to execute same code for different elements on the page?

$('.class1').click(function() {
   some_function();
});

$('.class2').click(function() {
   some_function();
});

instead to do something like:

$('.class1').$('.class2').click(function() {
   some_function();
});

Thanks

This question is related to jquery events

The answer is


We can code like following also, I have used blur event here.

$("#proprice, #proqty").blur(function(){
      var price=$("#proprice").val();
      var qty=$("#proqty").val();
      if(price != '' || qty != '')
      {
          $("#totalprice").val(qty*price);
      }
  });

I normally use on instead of click. It allow me to add more events listeners to a specific function.

$(document).on("click touchend", ".class1, .class2, .class3", function () {
     //do stuff
});

If you have or want to keep your elements as variables (jQuery objects), you can also loop over them:

var $class1 = $('.class1');
var $class2 = $('.class2');

$([$class1,$class2]).each(function() {
    $(this).on('click', function(e) {
        some_function();
    });
});

$('.class1, .class2').click(some_function);

Make sure you put a space like $('.class1,space here.class2') or else it won't work.


Another alternative, assuming your elements are stored as variables (which is often a good idea if you're accessing them multiple times in a function body):

function disableMinHeight() {
    var $html = $("html");
    var $body = $("body");
    var $slideout = $("#slideout");

    $html.add($body).add($slideout).css("min-height", 0);
};

Takes advantage of jQuery chaining and allows you to use references.


In addition to the excellent examples and answers above, you can also do a "find" for two different elements using their classes. For example:

<div class="parent">
<div class="child1">Hello</div>
<div class="child2">World</div>
</div>

<script>
var x = jQuery('.parent').find('.child1, .child2').text();
console.log(x);
</script>

This should output "HelloWorld".


I have a link to an object containig many input fields, which requires to be handled by the same event. So I simply use find() to get all the inside objects, that need to have the event

var form = $('<form></form>');
// ... apending several input fields

form.find('input').on('change', onInputChange);

In case your objects are one level down the link children() instead find() method can be used.


Simply use $('.myclass1, .myclass2, .myclass3') for multiple selectors. Also, you dont need lambda functions to bind an existing function to the click event.


Add a comma separated list of classes like this :

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {

$('.class, .id').click(function() { 

//  Your code

    }

});
