Selecting multiple classes with jQuery

javascript, jquery, jquery-selectors

Solution

This should work:

`$('.myClass, .myOtherClass').removeClass('theclass');`

You must add the multiple selectors all in the first argument to $(), otherwise you are giving jQuery a context in which to search, which is not what you want.

It's the same as you would do in CSS.

Problem

I’ve had a good look and can’t seem to find out how to select all elements matching certain classes in one jQuery selector statement such as this: ``` $('.myClass', '.myOtherClass').removeClass('theclass'); ``` Any ideas on how to achieve this? The only other option is to do ``` $('.myClass').removeClass('theclass'); $('.myOtherClass').removeClass('theclass'); ``` But I’m doing this with quite a few classes, so it requires much code.
