Rifts Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I have a very simple example <body> <p>First Paragraph</p> <p>Second Paragraph</p> <p>Yet one more Paragraph</p> <script> $("p").click(function () { alert( $(this) ); //this is the line im messing with }); $("p").hover(function () { $(this).addClass("hilite"); }, function () { $(this).removeClass("hilite"); }); </script> </body> I just want to click and an alert will pop up displaying the text between the <p></p> I clicked but it only says [object Object] instead of "First Paragraph" Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
