Can I simplify this jQuery where I look for elements on a form?
<p>Is there a way that I can simplify this code:</p>

<pre><code>var topic_html = obj.$form.find("#select-topic").html();
var topic_val = obj.$form.find("#select-topic").val();
var topic_text = obj.$form.find("#select-topic option:selected").text();
</code></pre>

<p>I know it's fairly clean but is there a way that I can avoid the three instances of <code>obj.$form.find.</code></p>
