jquery hasData() method syntax
Function:hasData() method detects whether the element has any jQuery data related to it.
Syntax:jQuery.hasData(element)
Parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
| element | Optional. The DOM element whose data needs to be inspected. |
Description:jQuery.hasData() method detects whether the element currently has any value set by using jQuery.data(). This method returns false if no data is associated with the element (no data object exists at all or the data object is empty); otherwise it returns true. The main advantage of jQuery.hasData(element) is that a data object is not created and associated with an element if one does not exist. In contrast, jQuery.data(element) always returns the data object to the caller, or creates it if it did not previously exist.
