Jquery select all selected and checked elements at once

Question

What I need is, find all selected elements on a page (I can do this by using $(":selected") ) and find all checked elements on a page (I can do this by using $(":checked") ).

Is there any way to find all selected and checked elements by using only one jQuery statement/selector?

Answer 1

Have you tried the following?:

$(":selected, :checked")

Here an example of how you can do it:

if ($( ":checked, :selected"))
{
  $( "#message" ).html( "BOTH Select box and Checkbox are choosen!" );
};

$(':checked, :selected')
