Check if a DIV id exists with JQuery

Question

Using Javascript I\'m trying to test whether or not a DIV with the id \"test_div\" exists in the document.

I\'m using

if (getElementById(\"test_div\"))
<         


        

Answer 1

You would have to do document.getElementById(id). But seeing how you are using jquery - you could also do $(id).length > 0 to check if the element exists
