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

$.fn.exists = function(ifExists) {
    return this.length ? ifExists.call(this, this) : this;
};

usage:

$('.element1, .element2').exists(function(els) {
    // this and els refers to $('.element1, .element2')
});
