[jQuery] Re: Syntactic sugar for checking whether an element exists

[Christof Donat]

Hi, 

> if( ! (e=$('#someID').length) )
>       e = $('<p id="someID">asdf</p>').appendto('#myParent');
> e.hide();

Oops.

if( ! (e=$('#someID')).length )
        e = $('<p id="someID">asdf</p>').appendto('#myParent');
e.hide();

Just close the parentheses where they should be closed :-)
