.removeClass from all elements (versus a single defined element)

Question

how would I use .removeClass to remove all matching classes instead of calling out each element individually?

So instead of this:

$("input").removeClass("CO_form_alert");
$("select").removeClass("CO_form_alert");

Answer 1

$("input, select").removeClass("CO_form_alert");

or even

$(".CO_form_alert").removeClass("CO_form_alert");

Hint: jQuery always works on all selected elements.
