I wonder how I in the best way can see if a container div contains a child element. I have a click event that fires on a child of either div id=unread or div id=read. I want to check where this child is.

Something like this is what I'm thinking:

if ($(#unread).find($(this)))

    alert(unread);

else

    alert(read);

Edit:
$(this) is a descendants two levels from #unread or #read.

Regards

Make use of : .children()

if( $(#unread).children().length > 0)

    alert(unread);

else

    alert(read);

EDIT

if($(event.target).closest('#unread').length > 0)

    alert('unread');

else

    alert('read');
