Try this:

  // do something if this li has a descendant ul

}

Hello

I have function like this:

$("ul.lavaLamp li:has ul").hoverIntent(function(){ ....

For various reasons i need to run other functions in this hoverintent
function, some functions need to be run for all lavalamp ul li's not
only those that have ul's. Therefore i have to run hoverintent like
this instead:

$("ul.lavaLamp li").hoverIntent(function()

But what is the shortest way to run certain functions on those li's
that have uls.

if  ($(this has:ul)) obviously does not work.. but is there a function
that checks if element has certain children? something i could use
like if ( $(this).has(element) )
