$(tagnamehere)

So:

$(div).each(function() {

    // do something exciting with each div

    $(this).css(border, 1px solid red);



    // do something by directly manipulating the wrapped DOM element

    this.style.border = 1px solid red;



    // do something only if this particular div has a class of 'pretty'

    if($(this).hasClass(pretty)) {

        $(this).text(I am the pretty one);

    }

});

or just:

// apply some css to all div elements

$(div).css(border, 1px solid red);

Keep in mind that when you use jQuery to select a number of elements, e.g. $(span), any method you invoke on the object will happen on all matched elements. Think of it as 'implicit iteration' - e.g. $(span).hide(); will hide all span elements on the page.
