Question

How to make this correct?

if( $(this) == $(".className") ){
   alert("Yes!");
}

and the NOT…

if( $(this) != $(".className") ){
   alert("Yes!");
}

Thank you

What your code would do is to compare a jQuery object containing one element with another jQuery object containing all elements with a specific class, so that would supposedly (i.e. if it would have worked) be true if the element has that class, and it’s the only element with that class. I don’t think that’s what you want to do…

If you want to check if the element has a class:

if ($(this).hasClass('className')) {
   alert("Yes!");
}

if (!$(this).hasClass('className')) {
   alert("No!");
}
