A jQuery 'if' condition to check multiple values

Question

In the code below, is there a better way to check the condition using jQuery?

if(($(\'#test1\').val() == \'first_value\')||($(\'#test2\').val() == \'second_v         


        

Answer 1

var values = ['first_value', 'second_value', 'third_value', 'fourth_value'];
$('#test1, #test2, #test3, #test4').each(function(index, el) {
   if($.inArray(this.value, values)) {
     // do some job;
     return false; // or break;
   }
});
