Possible? if ($(this:first-child).is("element")) - Using selectors with $(this)
<p>It's pretty easy for me to get this going and it works:</p>

<pre><code>if ($(this).next().is("object")){//dostuff}
</code></pre>

<p>But due to new div containments i now have to check the first child of <em>this</em>. 
But $(this) doesn't play nice with selectors, how do i do the same kind of thing in that situ?</p>

<p>This doesn't work:</p>

<pre><code>  if ($(this:first-child).is("element")) 
</code></pre>
