How to check if child exists
<p>I have a div which could potentially have a hyperlink with an id of reply. How can I check if that a[id=reply] exists? I thought it might be something like this but it alerts the message even if that hyperlink does not exist. Thanks in advance for any help</p>

<pre><code>    if($('div[chunk_id='+reply_chunk_id+']').children('a[id=reply]')){              
alert('test');
    }
</code></pre>
