how to check if fancybox exists on page already

Question

I am trying to check if a fancybox has been loaded already. If so then I run an ajax script to put content inside.

If not I open a fancybox iframe and it fetches content

Answer 1

This works for me

if ($('#fancy_content:empty').length > 0)
{
    alert('Fancybox Open');
}
else
{
    alert('Fancybox NOT Open');
}
