title: jQuery function parameters
body: <p>Ok, so basically I just want to make a simple function that will change the CSS value of a div that has been clicked. The selected div ($(this)) will be passed to the divClicked function. I could just call the CSS jQuery function here but i want to perform the implementation in another function.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#container').children().click(function(){
      divClicked($(this));
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but in the divClicked function when i go to run a jQuery function on the div variable it doesn't work... any idea what i'm doing wrong.</p>
  
  <pre><code>function divClicked(selectedDiv)
  {
      $(selectedDiv).css('background', 'red');
  }
  </code></pre>
