title: calling function on jquery selector
body: <p>Okay, normally I would consider myself an intermediate user of jquery, but this seems like a very noob issue that I'm not quite sure how to code.</p>
  
  <p>I have one div that I want to run a function against.  The only way I'm aware of how to do this is something like...</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("#divname").each(function(){
    dostuff();
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This seems like a bit more work when I know there will only be one element.  I tried this...</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("#divname", function(){ 
    console.log($(this));
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>... but it writes out the whole dom.  I just want to run the function on this one element.  How do I do that?</p>
