Explain The Difference Between “this” And “$(this)” In Jquery?

Answer»

“this” REFERS to the current ELEMENT in the scope. “this” will be used in TRADITIONAL JAVASCRIPT and “$(“this”)” if used then we will get the benefits of Jquery METHODS.

For example:

Using “$(this)” -

$(document).ready(function(){

$('#mycontrolid').change(function(){

alert($(this).text());

});

});

Using “this” -

$(document).ready(function(){

$('# mycontrolid'').change(function(){

alert(this.innerText);

});

});

“this” refers to the current element in the scope. “this” will be used in traditional javascript and “$(“this”)” if used then we will get the benefits of Jquery methods.

});

});
