Compare 'e.target' to a jQuery object

Question

What I want to do:

( clickedObject === someDiv ) //returns true or false

What I tried

( $(e.target) === $(\'.selector\') ); //r         


        

Answer 1

To check if e.target has this class you can use the hasClass function.

if ($(e.target).hasClass("selector"))

Or, if you really want to compare objects, note that jQuery selectors return a collection of items, so I think you'll want

if (e.target === $('.selector')[0])
