jQuery test if element1 is descendant of element2
jquery
Solution
If you're using 1.4, and are looking for a descendant rather than a child as your `find()` example implies, there's a `has()` method:
element2.has(element1).length > 0
Problem
Does anyone know a good way to test if one element, stored in a var, is the descendant of another, also stored in a var? I don't need `element1.isChildOf('selector')`, that's easy. I need `element1.isChildOf(element2)` `element2.find(element1).size() > 0` Does not seem to work. I don't want to have to write a plugin the uses `.each` to test each child if I can avoid it.
