It's 6 of one, half dozen of the other. The *default* behaviour is that "this" is a plain old DOM element object. It could have been designed so that "this" was a jQuery object, but then if you wanted to get the original object you would have to do $(this)[0], so it's extra typing either way.
Personally I like it the way it is. $(this) means you KNOW you are manipulating a jQuery object. Chris
