Hi Robert,
Actually, I just mentioned this in my blog entry last night:
http://www.learningjquery.com/2006/12/multiple-fancy-drop-caps
Basically, You would continue to use $(this) if you wanted to apply
jQuery methods to it.
If you wanted to refer to the DOM elements themselves, you would use
"this"
I'm sure someone else can go into greater detail about this, but I'm
pretty sure that at its basic level it's the difference between using
a jQuery object and using a DOM node.
