title: Accessing current element on backbone.js-events?
body: <p>I know that I can use jQuery to access the view's element in <code>backbone.js</code> by <code>$(this.el)</code>, but what about accessing elements that are handled by backbone's event binding?</p>
  
  <p>How can I target the clicked div with id <code>#button</code> directly from my event handler, as shown below? Do i really need to create a subview for this?</p>
  
  <pre><code>Backbone.View.extend({
  
      el : "#container",
  
      events: {
          'click #button' : 'buttonHandler'
      },
  
      buttonHandler: function(e) {
          // $(this.el)... works as supposed but what about $(my button)?
      }
  
  }
  </code></pre>
