Right from the docs
http://docs.jquery.com/Attributes/hasClass#class
---------------------------------------------------------------
Returns true if the specified class is present on at least one of the
set of matched elements
---------------------------------------------------------------
So say you have an element, let's say:
<div id="SomeDiv"></div>
and you we wondering if it has "SomeClass", then:
$("#SomeDiv").hasClass("SomeClass")
would be "false"
with that said though, if you are just going to say:
$("#SomeDiv").addClass("SomeClass");
then there's no need to check if it has the class already or not, it's
not going to be applied twice
