You're handling a case where arg1 isn't a string. What is the alternative?

John told me to post this here, so here it is....

I am currently refactoring a large amount of code over to jQuery. Against
better principles, the HTML is rife with onclick="fn()", etc, so I am
having
to convert over the functions themselves.

Prototype's $() will take a string or an object, just like jQuery does,
however, since prototype will ONLY look for id's if you pass it a string,
you do not have to include the #, whereas with jQuery, if you do not
include
the #, it will look for a tagname rather than an element by id.

So, here is an example of a generic function currently:

function test(arg1,arg2){
obj = $(arg1);
return obj;
}

The above function will work in Prototype if it's a string or an object.

So in my refactoring, I have been doing this:

function test(arg1,arg2){
obj = (typeof arg1 == 'string') ? $('#'+arg1) : $(arg1);
return obj;
}

Is this the best/only way?

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
