jQuery multiple selectors, get which selector triggered event

Question

When handling events with multiple selectors, such as:

$('.item a, .another-item a').click(function(e) {

});

Is it possible to determine which parent selector triggered the event? Was it .item or .another-item ?

Thank you!

Answer 1

Since a selector can be just about anything, you'd have to check for specific, such as:

if($(this).is('.item a')){
  //your code here
} else if ($(this).is('.another-item a')){
  //more here
}

Answer 2

You can use jQuery is.

if($(this).is('.item a')){
      // code
   }
   else if($(this).is('.another-item a')){//remove 'if ' in case there are only two selector separated by commas.
        //code..

   }
