What is difference between $(this) and ‘this’ in jquery?

Answer Posted / Santosh Pankholi

In jQuery, $(this) refers to the current element in the context of a DOM event or method. It wraps the current HTML element in a jQuery object. On the other hand, 'this' without the dollar sign refers to the global object (in most cases, the window object), unless it is used inside an object literal, function, or jQuery object where it refers to the specific object or function.
