jQuery object equality

Question

How do I determine if two jQuery objects are equal? I would like to be able to search an array for a particular jQuery object.

$.inArray(jqobj, my_array);//-         


        

Answer 1

If you still don't know, you can get back the original object by:

alert($("#deviceTypeRoot")[0] == $("#deviceTypeRoot")[0]); //True
alert($("#deviceTypeRoot")[0] === $("#deviceTypeRoot")[0]);//True

because $("#deviceTypeRoot") also returns an array of objects which the selector has selected.
