Check if multiple elements with same class exist [duplicate]

Question

Wonder if there's any way to check if elements with the same class exists in a document.

For example:

<div class="panel">panel 1</div> <div class="panel">panel 2</div> <div class="panel">panel 3</div>

JS:

if ( $('.panel')[0] ) { console.log('exists') }

.. but I want to check if MORE THAN ONE panel element exists, alteast 2.

$('.panel').length > 1

Try to use the length property to accomplish your task,

if($('.panel').length > 1) { console.log('yes, more than one element exist') }

Thats what I meant, it would return true even if just one .panel exists, I want to check if multiple element with the same class exists

if ( $('.panel').length >= 2 ) { console.log('exists') }

This should work

Simply use the the length property ;)

if ($('.panel').length > 0) { // your code }
