hi Michael,
i just did :

if ($(this).filter(".selected")) {
                        return true;
                 }
                 else
                 {


and it worked !


That's not quite right. .filter() returns a jQuery object, which will 
always evaluate to true. To use it your way, you'd want to do 
if($(this).filter(".selected").length) which will return 0 if there are 
no elements, or a positive integer if there are.

Michael was correct in his example of $(this).is(".classname"), which 
will return a boolean value as required.
