Multiple selector chaining in jQuery?

Question

Normally when I use a class as a selector I try to use an \"id\" selector with it so it does not search through the entire page but only an area where the class would be.

Answer 1

You can combine multiple selectors with a comma:

$('#Create .myClass,#Edit .myClass').plugin({options here});

Or if you're going to have a bunch of them, you could add a class to all your form elements and then search within that class. This doesn't get you the supposed speed savings of restricting the search, but I honestly wouldn't worry too much about that if I were you. Browsers do a lot of fancy things to optimize common operations behind your back -- the simple class selector might be faster.
