As a jquery-beginner, i should bind a javascript object into my jquery functions, like:

<div title="StackOverflow" onclick="javascript:action(this)">Content</div>

and in action i will handle the “this” :

function action(instance){
example=instance.attr("title");
}

but the “instance” is not a jquery object so i can’t work with it. The syntax

example=$(instance).attr("title");

doesn’t help me either.

I’d be glad of any suggestions

    this should work…

    <html>
    <head>
        <title>Test</title>
        <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
        <script>
            function action(instance){
                example=$(instance).attr("title");
                alert(example);
            }
        </script>
    </head>

    <body>
        <a id="test" title="StackOverflow" onclick="javascript:action(this)" href="#">Content</a>
    </body>
</html>
