I was using prototype js before moving to jQuery. This was my script: var children = $('div').getElementsByTagName('*'); var childrenA = $A(children); var isChild = false;
childrenA.each(function(child){ if (child === obj) { isChild = true; } }); I couldn't make jQuery substitute for it yet. Otherwise I will probably use a standard function.
