Question

OK so in jQuery;

I have a selecter $("#gmap")

I want to do alot of code in context of my selector. I have always been lazy and used .each() even though there is only one of them.

$("#gmap321654987789").each(function(){
 $(this).....
});

Is this particuarly effitiant? I hate code that doesn’t feel ‘right’.

Is there a mechanism for say… or something similar.

$("#gmap321654987789").this(function(){
 $(this).....
});

Answer 1

Just cache the object and work with it like normal:

var $gmap = $('#gmap321654987789'); // Get your jQuery object
console.log($gmap);
console.log($gmap.text());
