Question

a jQuery event passes me e.

I can then use: e.currentTarget which gives me the element

<input type=​"checkbox" class=​"list_completed_checkbox" id=​"list_item_completed_checkbox_81">​

But if I try doing e.currentTarget.fadeOut(); I get an error:

68Uncaught TypeError: Object #<HTMLInputElement> has no method 'fadeOut

How can I use the element w jQuery? Thanks

You need to wrap the element with $() to get a jQuery extended element.

$(e.currentTarget).fadeOut();

should do the trick.
