Combine two selectors with one jQuery object

I have the following jquery code:

  $("#try").click(function(){
  ...

If I click on #try, the browser executes the function. Suppose I want to add another element, #try2, that will execute the same function. How would I add an or to the above code? I’ve tried using,

  $("#try" or "#try2").click(function(){
  ...

but it doesn’t work.

Answer 1

Ir you have only try and try2 then you should go for

 $("#try, #try2").click(function(){
    // your code
 });

You can use comma separated multiple selector within $()

But if you have more then try

 $("[id^=try]").click(function(){
    // your code
 });

This will bind click event to those element which ids start with try, like try or try1 or try2 etc.

According to comment

How can I detect clicked element’s id

 $("#try, #donttry").click(function(){
    if(this.id == 'try') {
     // do something when try
    } else {
      // do something when donttry
    }
 });
