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

The $.fn.equals(...) solution is probably the cleanest and most elegant one.

I have tried something quick and dirty like this:

JSON.stringify(a) == JSON.stringify(b)

It is probably expensive, but the comfortable thing is that it is implicitly recursive, while the elegant solution is not.

Just my 2 cents.
