How can I select an element with multiple classes in jQuery?
For the case
<element class="a">
<element class="b c">
</element>
</element>
You would need to put a space in between .a
and .b.c
$('.a .b.c')
You can do this using the filter()
function:
$(".a").filter(".b")
If you want to match only elements with both classes (an intersection, like a logical AND), just write the selectors together without spaces in between:
$('.a.b')
The order is not relevant, so you can also swap the classes:
$('.b.a')
So to match a div
element that has an ID of a
with classes b
and c
, you would write:
$('div#a.b.c')
(In practice, you most likely don't need to get that specific, and an ID or class selector by itself is usually enough: $('#a')
.)
