Question

What’s the difference between $(this) vs $(‘this’) in jquery ?

Answer 1

$(this)

Here is the current context enclosed in a jQuery Object .

$(‘this’) — Here this is just a string..

$('#btn').on('click', function() {

     $(this).attr('id');

     // Here $(this) is the current current button context that was clicked with i**d btn**
});

So $(this) always gets the current context object that was in question..

By default this in context is the native DOM element…
