The is( selector ) method checks the current selection against an expression and returns true, if at least one element of the selection fits the given selector.
If no element fits, or the selector is not valid, then the response will be 'false'.
Here is the simple syntax to use this method:
element.is( selector )
Here is the description of all the parameters used by this method:
selector: The expression with which to filter.
