Is it possible to use multiple variables instead of selectors in jQuery

Question

I know that it\'s faster to do the following:

var $header = $(\"#header\");
$header.css({color:\"#ff0000\"});
$header.find(\"a\").addClass(\"foo\");
<         


        

Answer 1

You could always set all of the elements to one variable:

var $lis = $('#header li, #footer li');
$($lis).css({color:"#ff0000"});
