Is it possible to select $(this) AND use selectors in jQuery

Question

I\'m wondering if I can use $(this) as well as a class selector before running a function on them.

So rather than doing;

$(this).toggleClass(\'open\');
$         


        

Answer 1

You can use add():

$(".closed").add(this).toggleClass("open");

It will add this element to the set of matched elements (i.e. .closed).
