I can pass 'this' but using (#+this.id) was the way to do it with the
least code written. Inside the function I need to check the first 4 letters
of the ID string of the calling element to determine how to proceed, as well
as use the id as an element reference for the jQuery object. So it's
Just a bit clunky.
To me clunky is a overly long calling sequence this or this.id is easy to pass.
#+this.id is more clunky
when you put the more clunky expressions inside a function you can
re-used 'proven' code.
Just the advice from an seasoned(salty) programmer!
the less you type in
Thanks, and I already took your advice :)

Hi, I'm just starting to use jQuery and, while I'm not much of a coder, I
love the way it works. I was developing a project using the Prototype
library, but after discovering jQuery I'm converting everything. I'm finding
it straightforward but I have a request for a clarification on something.
I
function checkState(id) {
if ($(id).className == something) { etc
Use the is method:
$(id).is(something);

Thanks! I didn't know that existed, I assume it returns boolean. That's
great!
Cheers

Is id an ID? If so, you could use $('#id.something') and chain
whatever methods you want onto it.
The code that sets the event and function call is:
$(#options).find(a).click(function(){checkState(#+this.id)});
If there's a better way to
a bit clunky! just pass in this! and let checkState do the dirty
work... if it is actually needed!
