Bind jquery function to name array

Question

Hi guys i am trying to implement jQuery in my website. I have used name property of a control to bind an event like below

 $('[name = "OCCUPATION"]').typeahead({
             source: function (query, result) {
                var name = "test";
                $.ajax({
                    url: "@Url.Action("lookupQuestionOption", "Home")",
                    data: { Key: query, type: name},
                    dataType: "json",
                    type: "GET",
                    success: function (data) {
                        result($.map(data, function (item) {
                            return item;
                        }));
                    }
                });
            }
        });

Now i want this single event handler for multiple controls, like it can be OCCUPTION2 , OCCUPTION3, OCCUPTION4, OCCUPTION5...

So the code may be like

$('[name = "OCCUPATION,OCCUPATION2,OCCUPATION3,OCCUPATION4"]').typeahead({

I have tried the above but it's not working. Please help!

You can try this $('[name="OCCUPATION"],[name="OCCUPATION2"]') — Carsten Løvbo Andersen

Alternatively, if there are a lot of inputs, each with different names, use a class instead and bind it to that. — Someone

You can use selector like

it will select all element whose name starts with OCCUPATION

$('[name ^= "OCCUPATION"]')

It will work, but it is still better practice to write it correct.
