How to use multiple jquery object variables as selectors?
You can use add : jqId1.add(jqId2).show(); But don’t make your code too complex just to avoid querying “#id1,#id2” : this selector relies on getElementById and is very fast. You can use each cycle: $([jqId1, jqId2]).each( function(){ $(this).show(); }); As answered here: Select multiple jQuery objects with .add()
