If one of two elements exists, do something

Question

I currently do this to check if one of two elements exists:

if ($(\".element1\").length > 0 || $(\".element2\").length > 0) {
  //do stuff...
}
         


        

Answer 1

if ($(".element1").is('*') || $(".element2").is('*')) {
    // code
}

EDIT (per comment) Select elements by multiple classes in one call:

if ($(".element1, .element2").is('*')) {
    // code
}
