jQuery, "this", from parent function?
<p>I am trying to build my first Plugin for jQuery and I've the following code. I want to grab a default text, that I did set as $(this).text but it doesn't work this way. I've tried with parent and stuff like that, but without lucky.</p>

<p>Any idea?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<pre><code>(function($) {

$.fn.functionName = function( options ) {

  var options = $.extend({}, $.fn.functionName.prototype.defaults, options);
  return this.each(function(){
      // content
  });
};

$.extend( $.fn.functionName.prototype , {

  /** Default Settings **/
  defaults: {
     text: $(this).text(),
     placeholder: false,
     changedColor: "#999",
     hoverColor: false
  },

  replacetags:function(text)
  {
     text = text.replace(/LLEFT/gi,"[");
     text = text.replace(/RRIGHT/gi,"]");
     return text;
  }

});
</code></pre>
