Better way to write this jquery?

Question

Is there a better way to write this so that I'm not "re-selecting" #abc?

    $('#abc').click( function(e){
        e.preventDefault();
        $('#abc').addClass('someclass');
    });

Answer 1

I'm new to jQuery but try the following:

$(this).addClass('someclass');

this refers to the element that the callback is being called for.

Answer 2

$('#abc').click( function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    $(this).addClass('someclass');
});

Answer 3

var abc = $('#abc');
abc.click( function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    abc.addClass('someclass');
});

Answer 4

在回调中使用this 。

$(this).addClass("someclass");

Answer 5

Use this -

$('#abc').click( function(e){
        e.preventDefault();
        $(this).addClass('someclass');
    });
