Question

I am trying to write efficient jquery functions, so I was wondering if there is a way to pass the element itself $(this), rather than a class or an id to jquery in order to make changes to it when is interacted with.

Answer 1

<a href="#" onclick="myfunc()" />

<script type="text/javascript">
  function myfunc() {
    $(this).css( { 'color': '#770' } );
  }
</script>
