title: How can I detect if two elements are touching
body: <p>So I was wondering if you could test for two elements touching each other running a if statement. I know that I am new to javascript and I do not know as much as others, but I couldn't find out how to test for two elements touching.</p>
  
  <p>For example I would want it to be something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var el = document.getElementById("element1");
  var el2 = document.getElementById("element2");
  
  if (el1 touching el2) {
  //code
  //code
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Yes I know this is not how you do it but I would like to know if there was a certain way you could tell if two elements are touching...</p>
