5022	"Suggestion: Move functions ""is()"" and ""getName()"" to node.js"	Scott McNaught		"Hello,

During my tinkering with ckeditor, I think it would be very convenient to have the methods ""is()"" and ""getName()"" moved from element.js to node.js.

This makes sense because nodeName is a part of the browsers TextNode object as well.  It helps because if you are doing a test to see if an element is say a <br /> the code changes from:

if(element && element.type == CKEDITOR.NODE_ELEMENT && element.is('br'))[[BR]]
or:[[BR]]
if(element && element.is && element.is('br'))

to just:[[BR]]
if(element && element.is('br'))

I have seen these sort of checks a lot of places in the ckeditor source.  Let me know your thoughts."	Task	closed	Normal		General		wontfix	Discussion
