I have the following bit of code:

<div id=some_div style=border: solid 1px red; width:50px; height: 50px; 

onmouseover=(function(){$(this).css('background','green');})();></div>

The function gets run just fine but it doesn't seem to be able to find the 'this'.
How can I make it so that it will know to self-reference?

(Yes, jquery is referenced in my code)

I don't know if you want to be using an anonymous function there. I think

<div id=some_div style=border: solid 1px red; width:50px; height: 50px; 

onmouseover=$(this).css('background','green');></div>

will work.
