Actually "this" does follow you around everywhere, but it's more like
an often changing stray dog than a pet dog.

Yep,
I read
http://docs.jquery.com/Attributes
It did not help.
$(this).attr('href')
is easy to understand.
What I did not understand was that "this" had evaporated.
Once I put "this" in my click() call and then picked it up in tellme
(object), I could see "this" in my debugger
and everything f
This was a big help.
Thanks!

Also, if tellme() is the only thing you're calling in the click
callback, and you don't need to pass any parameters to tellme(), you
could also do it like this:
$("a.someLinks").click(tellme);
function tellme() {
alert(this.href);
}

Oops, small typo:
function tellme(obj) {
alert(obj.href);
}

You'd have to pass the reference of the clicked object to tellme(),
otherwise it has no access to anything from where it's called.
$("a.someLinks").click(function(event){
tellme(this);
});
function tellme(obj) {
alert(this.href);
}
