Question

I have a function that has the signature of:

function(id,target){
 //do stuff
}

The target parameter is assumed to be a jQuery wrapped object however it is possible that it could be a dom element in which case I’d like to wrap it in jQuery before I do operations on it. How can I test the target variable for jQuery?

Answer 1

if(!(target instanceof jQuery)) {
  target = jQuery(target);
}
