Jquery return element html instead of content
<p>I have something like this</p>

<pre><code>&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li class="aclass" id="a"&gt;content&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="aclass" id="b"&gt;content&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="aclass" id="c"&gt;content&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="aclass" id="d"&gt;content&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="aclass" id="e"&gt;content&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="aclass" id="f"&gt;content&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I have code like</p>

<pre><code>$(".aclass").live("mousedown",function() {

alert($this.html());

});
</code></pre>

<p>This will alert the content, what I would like to do is alert the entire element like </p>

<pre><code>&lt;li class="aclass" id="f"&gt;content&lt;/li&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I've tried $(this).parent() but that returns the whole UL</p>
