use $(this) instead of selector
<p>How would I use $(this) instead of the full selector in the code below in the "if" statement. I tried a few different combination of "this" usage and none worked. Among them are... </p>

<pre><code>if ($("this :selected").text().indexOf("[Subtract") &gt;= 0){
if ($(this" :selected").text().indexOf("[Subtract") &gt;= 0){
</code></pre>

<p>I am sure its gotta be something really simple, I just cannot figure it out today.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"&gt;
$(document).ready(function(){
$("select[name^=SELECT___]").change(function() {
if ($("select[name^=SELECT___] :selected").text().indexOf("[Subtract") &gt;= 0){
alert('');
}
});
});
&lt;/script&gt;
</code></pre>
