Targeting Multiple tabs with a single key up function call

Question

I am trying to build a DRY JQuery call that allows me to target several tabs within a form structure.

JQuery:

$(".subTabAction").keyup(function (event) {

    if (event.keyCode == 13) {

        $("#uniqueIdHere").click();

    }

});

HTML:

`<span>

<span class="sr-only" id="anchor" tabindex="0">Main Content</span> 

                        <span id="UniqueId1" tabindex="0" class="subTabAction">Details</span>

                        <span id="UniqueId2" tabindex="0" class="subTabAction">Duration</span>      

                        <span id="UniqueId3" tabindex="0" class="subTabAction"></span>

                        @if (Model.blah.Count > 1)

                        {

                            <span id="blah" tabindex="0" class="subTabAction"></span>

                        }

                        @*<span class="sr-only" id="anchor" tabindex="0">Main Content</span>*@ 

                    </span>`

Each of the tabs has a unique id, and triggers an ajax call, the problem is I can only target one this way. I would like to be able to target each one separately so that they can be accessed with keyboard only.

$(".subTabAction") is a collection of multiple tabs because there are more elements with this class name. $(this) will give you the tab you targeted.

$(".subTabAction").keyup(function (event) {
    if (event.keyCode == 13) {
        $(this).click();
    }
});
