In jQuery, is it faster to check if an element exists before trying to bind event handlers?

Question

Is it faster to first check if an element exists, and then bind event handlers, like this:

if( $(\'.selector\').length ) {
    $(\'.selector\').on(\'click\',         


        

Answer 1

$('.selector').on('click',function() { // Do stuff on click } will bind if element exists otherwise not. So this is faster.
