Question

I am building a jQuery plugin and i’m using a variable in it which can be an class or id. I dont want to use the . or # in the variable, so is there an way to check if an variable is a class or id.

Coudn’t find anything on the web about this.

some of the code

var defaults = {
    trigger: ''         
};

var opt = jQuery.extend(defaults, opt);

jQuery(opt.trigger).click(function(){
//run code
});

Check for

if($("#"+variable).length){
   //It is an id.
}
