Check if element exists in jQuery
Posted By: Anonymous
How do I check if an element exists if the element is created by .append()
method?
$('elemId').length
doesn’t work for me.
Solution
$('elemId').length
doesn’t work for
me.
You need to put #
before element id:
$('#elemId').length
---^
With vanilla JavaScript, you don’t need the hash (#
) e.g. document.getElementById('id_here')
, however when using jQuery, you do need to put hash to target elements based on id
just like CSS.
