Well, just to split hairs, the length property returns a number, not a true boolean. You could also use:
$('*').is('#myId') or you can reverse it like so: $ ('#myId').is('*') The .is() method does return a boolean. An advantage is that you can apply this to a subset of elements, for example: $('a').is('#myId') Larry On Dec 24, 7:55 am, Cloudream <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > $('#id').length>0 ? > > On Dec 24, 10:11 pm, debussy007 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > Hi, > > > what is the best way in jquery to check wether an id exists ? > > > Thank you for any kind help !! > > -- > > View this message in > > context:http://www.nabble.com/check-if-an-id-exists-tp14488007s27240p14488007... > > Sent from the jQuery General Discussion mailing list archive at > > Nabble.com.- Hide quoted text - > > - Show quoted text -
