OK fair point. To me though: $("img").exists(function(matches) { });
is a bit more of an elegant solution and a bit more readable (and saves you repeating the selector that might be quite long), but that's probably because $(img).length > 0 doesn't sound particularly intuitive to me. I guess if there was a simple $("img").exists() then the if () statement would be a bit more intuitive.
