[jQuery] Boolean value for if an element exists

[Andy Matthews]

I've got some multiple dropdowns that I'm trying to conditionalize. Our
designers can select one (or both) of two sets of code. I'd like to
conditionalize my jQuery code so that if the redline dropdowns exist, I can
run that code, or if the inventory dropdowns exist, I can run THAT code.
 
Is there a way of assigning a boolean value using a jQuery call? Something
like this maybe?
 
var redlineExists = $('#redlineSelect');
 
Where if the element is there, then redlineExists would be true, and false
if it did not?
 
How might I do that?
