Re: [jQuery] multiple elements, one function

[Jake McGraw]

Actually, you may want to avoid using custom attributes (expandos), problems
with this were discussed yesterday:

-
Err no, actually "*expandos*" refers to "non-standard" attributes that
get added to DOM elements. They "expand" the attributes that are
available on an element.

For instance adding an "*expando*" attribute called "hello":

   

Because they're "non-standard" they can cause memory leak problems
under Internet Explorer if they refer to other DOM elements.

More info here:

expando*.asp

Lastly, you could use the 'each" if the code you want to bind is different
depending on circumstances.

"Each" allows you to bind the code one at a time and make adjustments.

Re: [jQuery] multiple elements, one function

[Glen Lipka]

You might want to avoid using IDs and use a class instead.
Like  or use an attribute like 
Then $("select.foo"). or $("select[bindtome=true]") will bind to multiple.

Additionally, you dont have to bind the actual code there, you could call a
seperate function.
Lastly, you could use the 'each" if the code you want to bind is different
depending on circumstances.

"Each" allows you to bind the code one at a time and make adjustments.

Check www.jquery.com/api for cut/paste examples.  Hope this helps.

I suppose this is a newbie question. Is it possible to assign the same
function to multiple elements with different id's with one call?

For example, with the code below, could I assign the onchange handler to
another element with a different id?

$(document).ready(function() {
  // apply onchange handler to 'time' field
  $("select#time").change(function(){
// send request with amount & date as variables
$.post("guestCheck.php", {time: $(this).val(), date:
$("select#date").val()}, function(xml) {
//assign callback XML to JavaScript variable
var guests = $("guests",xml).text();
alert (guests);
   });
  });

Thanks for any advice.

Re: [jQuery] multiple elements, one function

[Chris Domigan]

Dan,

You can separate your selectors with a comma. Also you don't need to specify
a context (eg element type) when selecting an id. Eg #time is faster that
select#time.

So try: $("#time, #anotherId").change(function() {});

Cheers,
Chris
