.has() selector returns boolean value. you don't need to find the length. you can simply use has selector to determine whether it contains element or not:

if($("#preview").has("#draggable"))
{
  alert( "First element contain" );
}

You can use .find() and .length as shown :-

if($("#preview").find("#draggable").length){
   alert( "First element contain" );
}
