jquery if div id has children

children, jquery

Solution

if ( $('#myfav').children().length > 0 ) {
     // do something
}

This should work. The `children()` function returns a JQuery object that contains the children. So you just need to check the size and see if it has at least one child.

Problem

This `if`-condition is what's giving me trouble: ``` if (div id=myfav has children) { do something } else { do something else } ``` I tried all the following: ``` if ( $('#myfav:hasChildren') ) { do something } if ( $('#myfav').children() ) { do something } if ( $('#myfav:empty') ) { do something } if ( $('#myfav:not(:has(*))') ) { do something } ```
