Lets say I have this html:

```
<div class="test"></div>
<div class="test"></div>
<div class="test" id="target"></div>

```

Somewhere in my code I call:

```
var $divs = $('.test');

```

Later, I call:

```
var $target =$('#target');

```

Now, I'd like to check if `$target` is in `$divs`

I expected the below to log `true` on the the 3rd iteration but I get `false` 3 times:

```
var $divs = $('.test');
var $target =$('#target');
console.log($target);
$divs.each(function(){
      console.log($(this));
      console.log($(this) == $target);  // expected true on 3rd iteration
});

```

Looking at the console. it's obvious why this returns false.

**What would be the correct way to check if `$divs` contains `$target` ?**
