JQuery Check if Element Exists – JS Helpers

JQuery Check if Element Exists using this simple piece of code. To check this in the current page, we need to check the length of the element returned by the JQuery selector, if it returns you something then the element must exists otherwise no.

if( $('#EleSelector').length ) { // use this if you are using id, replace EleSelector with the id
// it exists
}

if( $(‘.EleSelector’).length ) { // use this if you are using class, replace EleSelector with the id
// it exists
}

In case of plain javascript try this:

//you can use it for more advanced selectors
if(document.querySelectorAll("#EleSelector").length){}

if(document.querySelector("#EleSelector")){}

//you can use it if your selector has only an Id attribute
if(document.getElementById("EleSelector")){}

How to Disable Facebook Links from opening in the Facebook App Browser

Facebook logo Español: Logotipo de Facebook Fr...Facebook recently update added a new feature to its mobile app. The feature loads all links clicked on Facebook to open in the in-app browser as opposed to a browser installed on the phone. While this is faster, it seriously limits what you can do with the open page (for eg. sharing is limited). But fortunately this feature can be disabled.

To disable it, do the following:

  1. In the Facebook app, goto Menu > App Settings
  2. In General Settings, you will find the “Always open links with external browser” option. Tap it to Enable it.
  3. Now your facebook app should behave just the way it did before the update.

If you are using Android ICS or above there is a simple way to keep track of your Mobile Data Usage.

  1. Go to Settings and select Data Usage.
  2. Drag the orange line and set it to approx 75% of your allowed Monthly data usage. When your usage crosses this limit a warning notification will be given to you.
  3. Drag the Red line and set it to approx 95% of your allowed Monthly data usage. When your usage crosses this limit your Mobile Data will automatically be disabled
  4. Set your data usage cycle based on when your bill cycle starts and ends.

Note: The Data usage of your phone may vary slightly from your carrier’s tracking(this is why we limit your usage to 95% of your quota)
