Check if element is a div

Question

How do I check if $(this) is a div, ul or blockquote?

For example:

if ($(this) is a div) {
  alert(\'         


        

Answer 1

Without jQuery you can say this.tagName === 'DIV'

Keep in mind that the 'N' in tagName is uppercase.

Or, with more tags:

/DIV|UL|BLOCKQUOTE/.test(this.tagName)
