Question

I’m trying to use the ‘this’ keyword to work with jQuery. I’m trying to rotate an image when it’s clicked by passing ‘this’ as a parameter in it’s onclick function. How would I then reference the image using jQuery?

If you pass the element (this) through to a function via onclick, you can just wrap the jQuery function ($) around it to treat it like a jQuery object.

<script type="text/javascript">
    function myfunction(img) {
        var el = $(img);
        // Some other code
    }
</script>

<img src="someimage.jpg" alt="" onclick="myfunction(this)" />
