Question

$(‘.myclass’).attr(‘id’);

myclass is the class of the selected table cells which have unique ids. No more than 2 table cells can be selected at once by the user. I need to capture the ids of the selected table cells and assign them to var1 and var2. Users can deselect cells and choose new ones… I thought about using an array but that’s probably not the best way.

Answer 1

I’d go with the array option using map(), eg

var ids = $('.myclass').map(function() {
    return this.id;
}).get();

if (ids.length >= 2) {
     var var1 = ids[0];
     var var2 = ids[1];
 }
