Merge two jQuery Objects

Question

I like to have a return value with one or more jQuery objects to add them to a . ``` var f = function() { var a = $('

'); // do someting awesome return a; }; ``` Correct example with two s: ``` var f = function() { var ret = $('

'); // do something spectecular return ret; }; ``` The problem is that I need these two objects separated inside the function and this is not correct code: ``` var f = function() { var a = $('

'), b = $('

'), ret = a+b; // do something fabulous return ret; } ```

Accepted Answer

You can use the jQuery `.add()` method:

```
return a.add(b);
```

From the docs:

Given a jQuery object that represents a set of DOM elements, the .add() method constructs a new jQuery object from the union of those elements and the ones passed into the method.
