Benchmark: isOrIn alternatives

isOrIn alternatives (version: 0)

Testing different methods of checking whether an element is or is in another element. Start from the position where you have jquery objects. Make === or parentNodes a function call. Check that alternatives return the correct answer.

Comparing performance of: is() or contains() vs == or contains() vs !!closest.length vs == and parentNodes

Tests:

is() or contains()
var found = $body.is($innerOne) || $.contains($body[0],$innerOne[0]); if(!found)throw new Error('BOOM');
== or contains()
var body = $body[0]; var innerOne = $innerOne[0]; var found = body==innerOne || $.contains(body,innerOne); if(!found)throw new Error('BOOM');
!!closest.length
var found = !!$innerOne.closest($body).length; if(!found)throw new Error('BOOM');
== and parentNodes
var found = isOrIn($body[0],$innerOne[0]); if(!found)throw new Error('BOOM');
