Question

I am trying to select a group of elements with a similar class. and then filter the selection by the element id. Is there a better way to go about this?

Then using that same id, I want to do something to a element set up with the same show entitcal class

$('ElementClass-1').attr('ElementId-1');
   $(this).hover(function(){
        ..do stuff
       });
  });

<a class="ElementClass-1" id="ElementId-1">hover me</a>
<a class="ElementClass-1" id="ElementId-2">hover me</a>
<a class="ElementClass-1" id="ElementId-3">hover me</a>
<div style="display:none; class="ElementId-1">show me</div>
<div style="display:none; class="ElementId-2">show me</div>
<div style="display:none; class="ElementId-3">show me</div>

Try something like below,

$(ElementClass).each(function () {
    $('.' + this.id).<your_function>();
});
