HTML Onclick with $(this)

Question

I have a conflict with calling the general jQuery click function and so I need to call an onclick event on the HTML element itself while still being able to use $(this)

Answer 1

you can pass this element as parameter:

onclick="thisFunction($(this));"

and on function recieve it as element:

function thisFunction(element)
{
  $this = element;
  //use it here
}
