Your problem is that you're using the DOM "this" instead of the jQuery $(this).

I need to be able to register what element is clicked, on the entire DOM. $(document).click(function () { var oBj = this; //alert($(oBj).text()); }); this doesn't work, as it returns the entire DOM. and I only need the element that is being clicked on. how would I do this?
