This sort of thing can happen a lot if you're writing functions which
take multiple inputs, based on convenience. Being "in control" of your
code shouldn't be a fascist thing like you're describing, where
there's only one way in which everything can or should happen. Having
openness in parameters is always a good thing.
And with that, you'll want to use "instanceof" to solve the problem.
var someObj = document.getElementById('div1'), otherObj = $('<div
id="div2"></div>'), thirdObj = {};
if (someObj instanceof jQuery); // false
if (otherObj instanceof jQuery); // true
if (thirdObj instanceof jQuery); // false
Whereas all options return "object" in a typeof check, instanceof
allows you to compare an object with an instantiation object, like
jQuery.
