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

If you want to match the element that the event is attached to you can use $(this), or if you want to find which element triggered the event use $(event.target).

Below is an example of both of these.

Unless you're using event delegation these will be the same though and if there the same element.
