You could just make an array prototype function ala:
Array.prototype.hasValue = function(value) {
var i;
for (i=0; i<this.length; i++) { if (this[i] === value) return true; }
return false;
}
if (['test'].hasValue('test')) alert('Yay!');
Note the use of ‘===’ instead of ‘==’ you could change that if you need less specific matching… Otherwise [3].hasValue(‘3’) will return false.
