Question

I have 4 buttons with different id\'s. When i click on them i need to perform one function. So i need something like this:

$(\'#button #button\').click(funct         


        

Answer 1

Separate each id with a comma:

$('#button1, #button2, #button3, #button4').click(...)

Answer 2

Use a comma :

$('#button1, #button2').click(function()...

Answer 3

To select the 4 buttons at once you write the following:

$('#button1, #button2, #button3, #button4').click(function(event){ /* code here */ });

If you need to identify which button was pressed, write something like:

$('#button1, #button2, #button3, #button4').click(function(event){ 
    if($(event.target).attr('id')=='button1'){
        /* specific code for button1 */
    } else if($(event.target).attr('id')=='button2'){
        /* specific code for button2 */
    } else if($(event.target).attr('id')=='button3'){
        /* specific code for button3 */
    } else if($(event.target).attr('id')=='button4'){
        /* specific code for button4 */
    } 
});

Answer 4

Easiest would be to add a class to all your buttons like so:

$('.button_action').click(function()
