Question

Consider this:

<div class="test">one</div>
<div class="test">two</div>

<script>

var i1 = $('.test');
var i2 = $('.test');

console.log( i1 == i2 );
console.log( i1 === i2 );
console.log( i1.is(i2) );

</script>

They all print false although they contain the same elements. One would think that .is() would work for comparing but it doesnt. How would you compare two jQuery objects?

Answer 1

We can use .not()

var i1 = $('.test'); 
var i2 = $('.test');
alert(i1.not(i2).get().length == 0); //alerts true
