title: jquery this and other elements
body: <p>OK, going rond in circles again - I'm sure the answer will be obvious. Just not to me :)</p>
  
  <p>I can't seem to specify <strong>this</strong> as one target amongst a few targets for a function:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(this, "elem1, elem2").doStuff()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I just want to doStuff() to a pair of elements, one of which is <strong>this</strong>. I can only get it to work if I explicitly name the elements, ie...</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("elem1, elem2, elem3").doStuff() 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>...works fine. But I can't seem to get it to work if I want to include <strong>this</strong> in the list. I have to write one line just for <strong>this</strong>, and another for elem1 elem2 etc.</p>
  
  <p>All help greatly appreciated. Thanks.</p>
