How to select multiple jQuery objects?

Question

Like if I wanted to select both document and window elements.

$(window, document).doStuff();

Doesn't work. Probably because according to the docs, 2nd argument is some "context" thing...

Basically I'm just looking for an alternative too

$(window).doStuff();
$(document).doStuff();

var one   = $("#1");
var two   = $("#2");
var three = $("#3");
var four  = $("#4");



 $([one, two, three, four]).each(function() {
        // your function here
    });

The document ready event executes already when the HTML-Document is loaded and the DOM is ready, even if all the graphics haven’t loaded yet.

If you want to hook up your events for certain elements before the window loads, then $(document).ready is the right place.

Note that one two three and four can't be jQuery objects. (well, they can, but it will have unexpected results)

doubt, doesn't having something done in $(window) will automatically be done in $(document) too?

$(document).ready(function() //executes when HTML-Document is loaded and DOM is ready while $(window).load(function() { // executes when complete page is fully loaded, including all frames, objects and images

@user1145009 With the update, your question is now going to have unexpected results. this inside the each will instead be a jQuery object rather than the dom node. Not necessarily a problem if that's intended, but it's out of the ordinary.
