Question

I haven’t found a way to detect if user is currently viewing a page, post or an entire list of articles. WordPress has functions like is_page, is_single, etc for that, but does anyone have a way for Tumblr? I’m currently hacking it with the following code:

$(function() {
    var uri_root = 'http://' + window.location.hostname + '/';
    var uri = window.location.href;
    if(uri_root !== uri){
        alert("Viewing a single POST or PAGE!");
    }
});

I’m wondering if that is the best way of doing this or is there an alternative?

Each post has a div of class post. So, count the number of div’s with post classes.

Something like this: $('div.post').length or document.getElementsByClassName('post') if there is no jQuery.
