In jQuery, if I have a reference to an element, how can I determine what kind of element it is, for example, an input or an dropdown? Is there any way to find out?

The typeof operator when applied to the jQuery object returns the string "function" . Basically that does mean that jQuery is a function.
$() = window. jQuery() $()/jQuery() is a selector function that selects DOM elements. Most of the time you will need to start with $() function. It is advisable to use jQuery after DOM is loaded fully.
jQuery find() Method The find() method returns descendant elements of the selected element. A descendant is a child, grandchild, great-grandchild, and so on. The DOM tree: This method traverse downwards along descendants of DOM elements, all the way down to the last descendant.
The following will return true if the element is an input:
$("#elementId").is("input") or you can use the following to get the name of the tag:
$("#elementId").get(0).tagName You can use .prop() with tagName as the name of the property that you want to get:
$("#elementId").prop('tagName'); If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
