How can I pass the $this (the self keyword) to a function in Jquery

$(document).ready(function() {



    $('.nav a').click(function() {

        var direction = $(this).attr(name);

        submit_form($(this))

    }); 



    function submit_form(this)

    {

        // do some stuff with 'this'

    }       

});

Wrapping it in $() makes it a jQuery object. You would want to do something like

submit_form(this);



function submit_form(obj)

{

    // Work with `obj` as this

    // Or wrap it in $() to work with it as jQuery(this)

}
