Match event.target with existing jQuery object

Question

How can I do that?

event.target returns a HTML object,

and my element is a jQuery object.

Is there a better way to find out if event.tar

Answer 1

Actually, I found another way, much more handy one :) Just need to use the data argument:

Data to be passed to the handler in event.data when an event is triggered.

Now my code looks like this:

var inp = $('');
inp.focus( { j : inp } , $.proxy( this.onInpFocus, this ) );

//and the handler method
onInpFocus : function( e )
{
var inp = e.data.j;
...
}
