[jQuery] multiple elements, one function

Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find an answer by searching. 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

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 ___ jQuery

You might want to avoid using IDs and use a class instead. Like select class=foo or use an attribute like select bindtome=true 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.
