If you had quoted properly it would be clear that I was replying to
your use of getElementById and the inference that the
HTMLSelectElement's length property wasn't appropriate. It is, and is
equivalent to its options properties length property.

That is, $(id).length returns the value of the length property of the
jQuery object, not the length property of the DOM element selected by
the id.

You don't *have* to, you can get a reference to the select element and
go from there:
$('#...').get(0).length;
