For those of you that don’t know NicEdit is a pretty awesome little WYSIWYG that is very easy to integrate into any website. Simple slap in a bit of javascript and away you go (well, pretty much). Anyway, I noticed a small problem when trying to align text in firefox, it seemed to break my site completely and gave an error in firebug when clicked. This was a bit of a problem as it was something I needed...

The ‘this’ keyword in jQuery is a very handy tool in your programming toolkit. If you are writing generic functions or you just can’t be bothered writing the id for the DOM element or if you are trying to access any of the child objects of a DOM, the $(this) object is the object for you.
