jQuery determine if ul has class OR another one

Question

what is the right way to determine if an object has one class OR another one? The following is appearantly wrong..

if ($('#menu-item-49').hasClass('current-menu-item' || 'current-menu-parent') ) {   $('ul.sub-menu ').css('display', 'block'); } 

Thanks!

You could use is instead?

if ($('#menu-item-49').is('.current-menu-item, .current-menu-parent')) {   $('ul.sub-menu ').css('display', 'block'); } 

Check the current matched set of elements against a selector and return true if at least one of these elements matches the selector.

Beats having to use multiple hasClass queries, which is the alternative:

if ($('#menu-item-49').hasClass('current-menu-item') ||      $('#menu-item-49').hasClass('current-menu-parent')) {   $('ul.sub-menu ').css('display', 'block'); }
