Question

I was wondering about the different ways of using a JQuery function on a variable
like I know this one

$.DoThis(variable);

but is there a way to call it at the end like normal Javascript functions

variable.$.DoThis();

haha I know this sounds stupid but I need to ask somewhere. Thanks!

Answer 1

You probably mean

$(variable).DoThis();

This implies that variable is

• a plain DOM object (or an array of them)
• a jQuery object (or an array of them)
• a string that contains a jQuery selector
• a string that contains HTML/XML markup
• a callback function for the “DOM ready” event (not relevant in this case)

If it something else, all bets are off.
