selecting multiple jQuery objects

Question

I'm saving some objects as variables like this:

var $var1 = $(".class1"),
    $var2 = $(".class2");

Normally I would select the same elements like this:

$(".class1, .class2");

But since they're already available as a variables, is it possible to select them somehow like this?

$($var1, $var2);

Every function I'm firing on such collection applies only to the first variable

Answer 1

you can use .add()

$var1.add($var2).dosomethig
