I am, but I'm using a function containing some jQuery code in conjunction
with a few existing Dreamweaver methods.

My code passes in a pure jQ object, whereas the jQuery code passes in a
string. Inside the method I was going to text for which was which then take
some additional action for the string. I ended up just testing for string.

function expandDiv(myVar) {
        // if the MM_jumpMenu method is calling, it passes in a string
        if (typeof myVar == 'string') {
                // do stuff
        } else {
                var $obj = $(myVar);
        }
        $('.hidden').hide('fast');
        $obj.show('fast');
}

I'm trying to grasp the concept of need for this check

What's a situation where you would wonder what it is?   Are you not in
control of your own code or something?
