In jQuery, what is the difference between $(this) and this?
Difference between $(this) and this.
In jQuery, $(this) and this have different meanings and serve different purposes.
-
$(this): This is a jQuery object that refers to the current HTML element being operated on. It allows you to utilize jQuery methods and functions on the selected element.
-
this: This refers to the current HTML element in a JavaScript context. It does not have access to jQuery methods and functions unless wrapped in a jQuery object.
Here's an example to illustrate the difference:
in this example, when you click on any paragraph, the jQuery version of the code uses $(this) to hide the clicked paragraph. On the other hand, the JavaScript version of the code uses this to hide the clicked paragraph. $(this) provides access to jQuery methods, whereas this allows access to standard JavaScript properties and methods.
Thank You
