How can I test if two jQuery wrapped DOM elements are the same? [duplicate]

Answer 1

A jQuery object can be treated as an array of raw DOM elements.

You can compare the raw DOM elements like this:

if(ele2[0] === ele3[0])

Answer 2

This is also a possible way to solve this problem. You can compare the id attributes since they should be the exact same in your example above.

ele1.attr("id") == ele2.attr("id"); //returns false
ele2.attr("id") == ele3.attr("id"); //returns true

Answer 3

Compare the DOM elements inside like this:

if (ele1.get(0) == ele2.get(0))
