jquery - A cleaner way to select by multiple possible attribute values?

Question

Is there a possibility in jQuery to select by multiple possible attribute values without having to use a comma separated list of selectors.

So in stead of:

#list1 > option[value="1"], #list1 > option[value="2"], etc

Something like:

#list1 > option[value="1"|value="2"], etc

Answer 1

Not that I know of. The cleanest way I can think of doing this is to first select using the common elements across all items, then just .find() or .filter() the OR values out.

Something like

$('#list1 > option[value]')
    .filter('[value="1"],[value="2"]')
    ;
