Hey guys,

I want to use the argument I pass (this) in a JS function and treat it as an jQuery variable. Example:

<script>    
function useMe(obj){
  $(obj).val();
  ...
  ... 
  ...
}
</script>


<select id="selectid" onChange="useMe(this)">
    <option>......</option>
</select>

Is there a possibility to treat the passed argument as a jQuery element?

Btw. I need to do it this way, because the select-element isn't created on load. The select element will be created later asynchronously.

So, this won't work:

$("select").each(function (i){
    var select_id = $(this).attr("id");                
    $(this).change(function(e){  

because it doesn't exist yet.

Thanks for your help.
