A jQuery 'if' condition to check multiple values

Question

In the code below, is there a better way to check the condition using jQuery?

if(($(\'#test1\').val() == \'first_value\')||($(\'#test2\').val() == \'second_v         


        

Answer 1

var c=0, b='#test', a=['first_value','second_value','third_value','fourth_value'];
for(var i=0; i<4; i++)
    if($(b+i).val() == a[i])
        c=1;
if (c) //Do stuff here
