Thanks. I think I'm going to try a different tack. Ideally, I'd like to
check to see if an object exists AND store a reference to that object at the
same time. So I'll do this:
var redline = $('#redline');
if (!redline.size()) {
// do some stuff here
}
Thanks for the point to size() daemach. That's better than the idea I had.
