JS jQuery - check if value is in array

I am more of a PHP person, not JS - and I think my problem is more a syntax problem ..

I have a small jQuery to \"validate\" and check input value .

It works ok

The Array.prototype property represents the prototype for the Array constructor and allows you to add new properties and methods to all Array objects. we can create a prototype for this purpose

Array.prototype.has_element = function(element) {
    return $.inArray( element, this) !== -1;
};

And then use it like this

var numbers= [1, 2, 3, 4];
numbers.has_element(3) => true
numbers.has_element(10) => false

See the Demo below

Array.prototype.has_element = function(element) {
  return $.inArray(element, this) !== -1;
};



var numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4];
console.log(numbers.has_element(3));
console.log(numbers.has_element(10));
