andSelf( )
Add the previous selection to the current selection.
Useful for traversing elements, and then adding something that was matched before the last traversion.
Examples:| Name | Type |
|---|
Find all divs, and all the paragraphs inside of them, and give them both classnames. Notice the div doesn't have the yellow background color since it didn't use
andSelf().
$("div").find("p").andSelf().addClass("border");
$("div").find("p").addClass("background");
